Thank you Diff. Keep on “rambling.” Your line about the old timers passing on and taking all that wisdom and knowledge to the grave with them really hit home. I have spent many hours of my life watching and listening to the old timers, I have been tremendously helped in life by it. I am blessed to have both of my parents still as well, and you know: the older I get, the smarter I realize they are. It’s one of main reasons I watch you: wisdom and experience. Those two things are absolutely priceless. Thanks Diff.

Hey Div absolutely correct about the "woke" and PC society. I think of my own grandsons, their parents won't allow them to watch movies with a bit of "real life" themes, but allow them to spend all their spare time playing games killing and blowing up everything. We wonder where is their perception of reality. We never raised our kids this way but they're raising their kids to have skewed views on life. Not our business so just "zip it". I cut up a '37 Chev "Sloper" when I was in high school early '60's to build it into a "bush buggy". Cheers mate!
