    I think it has a lot to do with trucking. It's why I try to take as many pictures as possible. My company even came to me and asked if they could share the pictures I put on Instagram on their main IG/Facebook accounts to help build their social media presence. Lots of companies don't have much if any at all presence on social media these days, and apparently for those that are, it helps bring in drivers who normally wouldn't consider dropping a resume.

    And really, what's in a picture? It is a snapshot of a mere moment in time. A single fraction of a second of something someone else is experiencing, and something they valued enough to take a picture of, allowing others to enjoy that moment as well. There is a beauty in a well-taken photograph, and you definitely know how to capture "the moment" well.

    I have my family and friends telling me all the time similar things, it lets them "journey with me" out on the road, and see what I do on a daily basis. I feel like that's really important for anyone you share your pictures with. It's kind of a lost art these days. Too many people can take a picture and post it online for mindless consumption, but so few left can really capture a moment perfectly that everyone can see it, and more importantly feel what it was like to be there IN that moment.

    (great...here comes another long post)
    No. A month or so ago, @johndeere4020 and another hand got into a discussion about trades schools and learning, and apprenticeship. This guy basically said that he prefers learning from YouTube instead of a real master tradesman because he doesn’t want to hear about when dinosaurs walked the earth.

    And I was thinking that if there was some primitive man that had to club his dinner to death or starve, and he’s telling stories, I want to hear from him because he is the toughest SOB I could ever meet.
    Haven’t you noticed that NO ONE is tough anymore? Participation trophies and suicide when bullied. What’s the point of being high tech if you’re a sidewalk sissy?

    Obviously, lol. Brands, shops, materials, etc? I've never done a single second of research on leather boots and have no idea where to start. All I've heard is "Red Wing" passed around these parts.

    I take pictures too but nothing @ShooterK2 level so I just fly it to a higher level.

    And just so I don't get in trouble too, no, I was not actually in the flying machine at the time this picture was taken and no animals were harmed. I was at the controls of the flying machine however I was safely hidden under one of the big blue things and again no animals were harmed. FB_IMG_1543786451515.jpg
