A statement I hear over and over on these forums is: "I've been doing this for 20 years", "30 years, "40 years. When I was in my early 30's a buddy of mine was on a construction crew and doing plumbing on a big construction job that they had about a week left to complete or would cost money for every day over their bid. There was an old man taking a paint brush and doping the threads of the pipe and then connecting and so on, and so on....taking along time and accomplishing little. While my buddy in his 30's also, had been doing this for quite a few years also. He finally got fed up and told the old timer, you're wasting time and we have a deadline! Just dip the damned pipe end in the compound and connect & tighten! The old timer looked at him and told him, "I've been doing this for 30 years"!! At this my friend really got pissed and said, "Yeah, and for tharty years you've been doing it wrong". Boss man took the old guy and put him on another chore...they finished in time and inspections were done and approved.
What I'm trying to say is we can all learn from the younger folks too...at least the ones with common sense.
