And the learning begins...

Oh boy, I am glad I am not twenty and choosing my path.  That was thirty years ago for me and the 'kids" can have it.  I did not get myself "operational" until my mid twenties.  I never caused any harm.  Usually I was working.  I just spent a lot of time spinning my wheels.  It's called life, now go live it!  Heres to ya Josh.

He's a year ahead of me but a couple years behind experience wise, I'm sure he'll catch up plenty fast, I know I would ;D

I don't know what I want to be when I grow up either. Not even sure I want to grow up.

Not even sure I want to grow up. 

In 20 more years you'll KNOW that you don't want to grow up.   ;D

Congratulations Erik.  That pile of stickered lumber is something to tip one to.

I did that for you.

Thanks all

Josh (my step son) seems mostly interested in doing more with the mill but I doubt he'll come on the forum.  He's an introvert who generally doesn't chat much.  However, my son (Kurtis) called me last night (he lives with his mom in BC) and asked about the mill.  Seems he is interested in coming down for a month or two and giving it a go   He enjoys woodworking and is looking for ways to earn college money and seemed generally excited about the idea of dragging the mill to remote places to mill lumber for others ;)

Maybe I'll get them both hooked!  After all, the two of them together are pretty amazing.  Kurt is 18 and an extrovert who loves to work, Josh (20) is an introvert who doesn't mind working but enjoys hanging out with his brother (step) no matter what they are doing and the two young bucks are strong as oxes!
