Default Re: Y Izzit?

The sad part is that in today's "modern" lifestyles, the last generation was brought up on TV, microwave suppers, and computers. Where both parents have to work to make ends meet because everyone is trying to keep up with the joneses and they commute for hours every day. So when these guys head out to their garage to tinker on their A, it's to let go of their stresses and try an end the day with a "simple" accomplishment (which with old iron....seldom happens). They don't have the skills taught from hours of playing in the shop "watching dad do it" because their dad was to busy providing for them. So they come to "the quick place for help" , "the place where "grandpas" reside and ask for help. Yes they can go to a book, yes they can do the searches, but some of these guys push paper and stare at computers all day. I bet they'd jump at joining a local club, but life gets in the way.

That's just my take on it
