I asked him how he learned all that he knew once. He laughed and said he wasn't born with a hammer or any other tools in his hands. He said he just took the time to figure out how stuff works. And he said it helped being poor for a lot of his life, because he couldn't afford to buy new or pay someone to repair whatever. He always invested everything extra into more tools or equipment. He has a New Holland skid steer. Caterpillar bulldozer. Chainsaws, log splitter, stump grinder, etc. He even had a saw mill running for a few years. He took a lot of the trees from his tree business and made lumber out of them. Nothing fancy and all rough, but he built a hell of a shop out of some of it. It helps that he has a fair amount of land, too. I know, CE could probably care less. But guy's like my dad are a dying breed. I've learned a ton from him. I wish I would have shown more interest growing up. Again, tradespeople are awesome. Nothing can run without them. --- RIP BigAirDay aka Bill.
