i wish......i have had a lot of suggestion s about how to train teh younger generation  how to use tools...  BETWEEN JUST SHOW TEHM ----TO ----MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT EACH....you people do not understand---LET ME TRY..... i had a wonderful group of "kids"- HIGH SCHOOL AGE....-- with adults... perfectly normal-- well educated ( not by mike rowe's standards... but probably harvard.) **  we needeed to move a bunch of rails  10' long ----  now if you picked on e up by yourself you held it in the middle and got dirty-- i  was sitting in th e tractor, i tried to get these people to carry them with one person on either end...  plenty of kids and people--much cleaner-- i "instructed" BY SAYING .....   use 2 people-- one at either end.... seemed clear to me.... i had to get off teh tractor to  show them what i meant...-- so here is another-- same day.. same adults and kids.  i set teh tractor so they could put the rails across the  5 foot bucket.  the first adult put a rail with 5'  in teh bucket 5 foot sticking out to the right-- the next person  in the bucket and 5 foot to the left  so that is a 15 FOOT WIDTH AND A 12  FOOT GATE TO GO THRU-- SO I SAID  " I NEED TO HAVE YOU PUT THEM ON TOP OF THE BUCKET- EVENLY SPACED SO IT IS NOT SO WIDE.. I HAD TO GE TO OFF THE TRACTOR AND SHOW THEM..  THE NEXT IS EVEN WORSE...  THE OBJECT WAS TO SET 2 RAILS ON  3 ( MOVEABLE) TREE STUMPS TO KEEP PEOPLE ON THE DRIVEWAY --- AND ONE BUNCH DID WELL-   I TURNED AROUND AND THE SECOND BUNCH   WITH 3 TREE STUMPS AND 2 RAILS----HAD  SET THE FIRST 10' RAIL BETWEEN 2 STUMPS THAT THEY HAD PLACED ABOUT 6 FEET APART- THEN THE SECOND PERSON PUT THE NEXT STUMP 10 FEET FROM THE 6 FOOT ONE  AND SET A RAIL ON IT. SO THE 20 SPACE BY THE SMOKERS TENT HAD  A 16 FOOT "RAIL" -SO HELP ME THE MAN TURNED AND SAID "IT'S TOO SHORT" -- NOW TO GET THAT GUY  TO MOVE THAT MIDDLE  STUMP FROM 6' TO 10 FROM THE FIRST WAS COMPLICATED BECASUE HE THEN SAID "IT'S STILL TOO SHORT"  BECAUSE  IT WAS 6 FOOT FROM TEH THIRD STUMP. I JUST SAT AND WATCHED..  TO MOVE THE THIRD STUMP WAS NOT AN IMMEDIATE SOLUTION  BUT THEY DID FIGURE IT OUT. SO ALL YOU FOLK WITH THE HELPFUL SOLUTIONS-- LETS START WITH HAVING YOU WRITE  A DESCRIPTION OF  2 ENDS OF A 20 FOOT CHAIN THAT  ARE  DIFFERENT- WHY? AND HOW TO USE THEM IN WHAT SITUATION..? I HAD HOPED KEAGAN WOULD BE HERE TODAY TO HELP ME  WORK OUTSIDE.. HE IS GETTING TRAINED BETTER ALL THE TIME... HE IS UNUSUAL-- AND A BIG HELP..  PLUS....I CAN NOT GET ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR 20 TIMES-- ALSO I NEED TO GO GET MY CAR-- NEEDED NEW BRAKES-- I AM SURE IT IS THE STEEP DRIVEWAY AND THE VERY HEAVY TRAILERS-  HONESTLY--- TEH TOYOTA DEALER GUY QUIETLY TOLD ME  THE SEQUOIAS WERE NOT AS GOOD AT TRAILER TOWING AS A 15O FORD... ? THE BAD PART?  IN A COMPLICATED SWAP,  JANINE HAS MY BLUE 150 TO TOW    HER/MY/THE    HORSE TRAILER...AND I LIKE MY SEQUOIA SO I BUY BRAKES... EVEN IF IT ONLY HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT,
