Default I don't remember horse and buggy, outhouses, or churning butter

New hams just don't appreciate things anymore.

I don't remember,
cutting wood for winter, foraging the woods for berries,
turning the crank on a model T, building a spear to kill a deer,
washing my clothes in the river, making candles to light the night.
And I do appreciate that I don't have to do these things anymore.

I have helped cut wood for winter heating. I have also foraged for
berries, actually Granny knew where to look and took me along to help
pick berries. I have never hand cranked a model T, but have watched
others do it (was tied up with winter wood cutting, the "T" drove a
belt with a rear axle wheel to drive a large circular saw) I never did
any of the other things listed, but if Granny were still here, I'd bet
she has and could describe the process. Except the spear hunting, that
was before Grannys time and on the other side of the family.

Hi Harold,
My point is, times change, peoples change, and if you want to cut
wood,
pick berries, crank a model T, or spear hunt,
Have at it, but your not out telling everybody they need to.

Right, and why homebrew anymore when you can call HRO or AES and buy your
appliance off the shelf.


73,
Back to my CW and projects.
