I think you'd be hard pressed to support that statement that the youth are more knowlegable in some areas. Best you might come up with is a cell phone, video games and the latest gadgets. Unfortunately, they don't know how they work. For example, ask them how a cell phone gets its name and how they make a call. They're clueless. You might come up with computers...nope, they don't know what a Hdd is nor Ram. They just operated some basic programs. I submit that the older guys know far more than the youth today. Kid I know heard a rattle under his car and had it towed to the dealership so they could fix the heat shield on the catalytic. My wife ask him why he just didn't jerk it off...he had no clue about getting under the car. Another kid...male...we were talking about changing a flat and he said he didn't know how. I asked him what happens if he gets a flat...he said, I call AAA and they come out. Nope...it's the age of specialization and the rip offs are coming or are here. I had a brake line to the rear brake rust out. Took it to a dealer and told him exactly what it was and what I wanted done. He quoted me $1600+tax. For a $10 brake line and an hours worth of labor at best. How many are suckered into that because they don't know nor want to learn?

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
