Any one been out looking for morels? Finding any? My poor eyesight and ability to get poison ivy simply by being within 100 ft of it, prohibit me from searching.
Hayne's on Main in Mackinaw is featuring this Morel Swiss Burger for their lunch special this week. (Photo from their fb page)..."

I have learned some basic home repair skills from YT.
My mom was a secretary, my dad never really came back from Vietnam. PTSD most likely. Stayed overseas most of my life after he got out of the service. I was really good with math, so went into STEM in college. Life brought me to the finance world...."

"What the IDF is doing is straight up genocide. I don't abide. There is famine, and relief vehicles are getting struck on purpose. How do we know this?? They are CLEARLY marked on the roof of their vehicles.
They pinch them into a segment of land, and them bomb that area when they say that's the safe place to go. IDF leaders are recorded as saying they want to kill all mothers and children. They aren't trying to get Hamas. They are trying to annihilate. Hamas is BAD. So's the IDF...."

"My dad worked at CAT mostly as a machine repairman. Growing up, I never seriously considered working at CAT. I was 15 when I visited a college radio station, and decided being a DJ was what I wanted. But life took me into video and TV broadcasting instead, with no regrets.
My dad never really taught me some basics of home repairs. But I have replaced faucets, ceiling lights, dryer heating elements, and some light switches. Instructions included helps a lot...."

And not just the trades. I used to be able to translate Law French to modern English; it's much quicker and easier to use a translation app to do that now. I doubt there's a need at all for that skill set now...."

"Not everyone has the same skill set as their daddy.
Trade schools... where you learn from professionals in a field that just might not be what your pappy did for a living.
I mean, some trades are obsolete. Blacksmith would be one.
The fact some people can't see beyond their own experience is astounding!..."

"I just find a dark alley. :) (kidding of course)
We bought a house to move mom closer and found a couple tires in the backyard bushes. I called the local car shop up the street and asked what he'd charge if I brought a couple tires to dispose of. Afterward, we laughed because the effort I had to go thru to explain what I was wanting and the fact he'd never had such a request...."

You have to be 17 to get into these programs. Today you can't work for an employer at 16 or 15 even and run a mower or even push a button on a trash compactor. What used to be learned from home and take over family business is gone.
I have worked over countless different jobs since 13, Deep Rock gas station check oil, fill up with gas, clean windshield. I would of went into the garage next but Opel`s truck stop needed a dish washer...."

"Waste and recycling?
Today TV`s air conditioners, fridges and freezers also tires. Have become problems elderly and places where living spaces are small have no place for items such as these. With the neglect of what do you do with it when it goes bad.
Even some places won't let you sit it on the porch even if you're waiting for someone to pick it up...."
