Never mind what I did today but let me show you what an 80 yr old man,my wife's uncle did in the past 2 days. First just a little back story, this man and I go back along time and have many prized memories together but we haven't got to spend time together with him as much past few yrs. Well I had sometime a couple days ago and I thought about him so off I went. During my visit it came up that hes been tinkering around the barn doing little projects and the like. The wife and I have been interest in a rolling butcher block for our kitchen so I half jokingly said I'll hire you make me and your niece a butcher block . He said,serious as a heart attack give me a couple days. He meant it and sure as hell he called the start of day 3 and said simply its done. When we saw it we were stunned. I know the man and his talents. It got to what do I owe you and serious as a second heart attack said can you give the 60 I got into the castors. Wait wtf no sir I can not. I had a little over 5 hund on me which I had to throw in his truck for him to take.I felt like I was stealing.Yes he will be finding some more he didn't know about. Some of you woodworkers out there might not be impressed but he's 80 and 48 hrs I sure as F am. I dont know if men were made different or they just made more of them but when the time comes I'm going to miss this one. 20210519_104713.jpg

As a general rule I really dislike grouping folks into categories, specifically using derogatory terms.
I was born in the UK, raised in the Philippines and S. Florida so where do I get to be "niched" and what does my "group" not grasp?

And speaking of inclusive, I'm having doubts that you embrace inclucivity based on your post.
BTW, your avi speaks volumes.

Perhaps it is a regional colloquialism.

I know some fine hillbillies.
