    Asking Questions

    About asking questions on SMF. I ask some questions here not because I don't know what to do, I usually already know what I would do. I ask questions to get a different perspective or other ideas I haven't already thought of. Also, I like to learn new things. I self-started a program I like to call "Lifelong Learning". In this program, I'm the only student and the world (and everything on it) is my teacher. And it's free. Learning doesn't end when school ends. A man who THINKS he has all the answers is probably the BIGGEST FOOL.

    Asking questions is fine. However, a lot of questions have already been asked. Search the archives before asking. You would benefit so much more. I've learned so much from doing the research. If you find a thread that pertains to your question and you have something more to add then please do! Iam 57 years old and still learning, and still seek knowledge. You got the right attitude about this business and life in general. You'll never go hungry.

    seems you are of my baby boomer peers from the years 1957 - 1959.

    I'm a late 58 model of the eleventh month.

    I think we have a fleet of 57-59 older coups, that's ran the city streets a time or two and wanting to ride a lot longer!

    My model came out in '83. 6th edition. I've read a lot of older threads. I read post's for two years before I posted anything. I read a lot in general. I find I learn a lot more by listening and asking questions than talking and wondering.
