and yes, i'm around babies all day long 5-6 days a week. you ever
worked with tool and die makers? the least whiny person in the
shop, besides myself and my son of course, is the young lady
(age late 20s) with bright orange hair currently, who finished
her tool and die apprenticeship a few years ago. :)

  So she dumped a useless, political, college degree and opted for a much
more functional future. Good for her!
If tariffs bring industry back, as they should, she'll never be out of
work, until she want's to be.

I was changing the brake pads on my Toyota today. Those goofs at NAPA
gave me the wrong pads so I called my daughter to get a ride to the
store. I got new pads and my daughter's friend in the back seat grabbed
it from me. It was then that I noticed the tattoo of a spark plug on her
arm. She proceeded to install the pads for me. She said she went to a
mechanic school on the mainland. She said she tried to get a job at a
shop but nobody wants to hire a mechanic that looks like her. She's a
good-looking girl with long blond hair and striking looks. She just
doesn't look like any grease monkey that I've ever seen. DEI was made
for people like her.

Anyway, I worked on her guitar and she worked on my car. We both think
that Jeeps are kinda crude but the 4.0 L inline 6 is totally awesome so
she's alright in my book. It is a shame that she can't work in the field
that she went to school for.
