The new post is in red. I couldn't find the black sharpie...

The new post would ber bigger if i was the smartest!

I dunno, Tim....You were likely the smartest person in the room at the time!

Here's another one you can add and what I put on the 40 year reunion questionaire as the most important thing I've learned since high school:

"Never cook bacon naked."

Well lads, just got back from a west coast mini vacation with the wife and happy to say the bidet hasnt sprung any new leaks while away so think it?s back in good nick.
Back to work tomorrow and like you were talking about training new guys, I run an apprenticeship at the plant as part of our way of recruiting the next gen mechanics, or millwrights as they are called up here.
Went through 4 to find 1 worth investing in. And then another 3, including a DEI female hire, only to get a second one on board.
It?s exhausting walking the line between modern DEI/H and S safety initiatives while still developing those ?to whom the rules do not apply? at times and training the art of walking the line between the two philosophies.
Be a ?get er done? type, but not reckless. Be fearless, in so far as you have no idea what the problem is going into it, but have the confidence you will figure it out, but don?t be cocky. Be chivalrous, but not sexist.
Be the first into the fire, but also know that all lives matter. Keeping your internal ranking of in which order they be saved, to yourself..
Really is a tall order, but also a great feeling when you see the younguns start to grow, and get it.
Our first apprentice, now in his third year just had a birthday, and his wife bought him a monogrammed Leatherman..
Makes me proud I tell ya, proud..

Don't forget, "be bold and brave but know and respect your limitations.
