What's on your mind today?

I get you. I'm going to lean hard on the orthopedist for knee joint surgery instead of cortisone injections. I can't even wash and wax my own car, let alone crawl into a cabinet, and I'm only 73. I can get down, but getting back up is an exercise in faith. I used to be able to pick up 225# engine blocks off the ground and put them in a truck bed, unassisted. I'm currently up at 2:30 in the morning- can't sleep. Humbug. Getting old ain't for sissies.

In the past, HAF had numerous active contributors. For whatever reason, there is precious little participation of late. It seems that activity has gradually eroded to.................not much.

Have those former HAF guys and girls faded into oblivion?

I'm seeing it across all forums I visit- wood working, wood carving. metal working, science sites and a truck forum. Plus other atheist sites. Most being trades sites, I get that. Eventually, the US will have more trades training going on. That whole, "everything is going to be computers" mentality has failed miserably. I do most of my own home maintenance and repair, but I see so many shysters out in our neighborhood taking advantage of the neighbors. AI is causing a kerfuffle, but needs authoritative direction. That authority has to be learned by people, at least so far.

im here but i dont often have anything of value to say. i seem to spend too much time watching the end of the american century in real time.

not that i mind my country not being a leaderin world domination and the suppression of sovereign rights, but ireally dont like being on the side of the evil bond villains.

I am also still here, but more as a lurker these days. I have been so busy with my design and art projects that I have not made any contributions here, although I check in most mornings to see the latest posts.
