I’m getting old
I am really fortunate. My local NAPA has a high school kid that works there part time. Loves mid 80's Ford pickups and owns two of them that he is working on all the time. When I come in and ask for something off the beaten path and he doesn't understand what I'm talking about, he'll ask. Doesn't get snotty or uppity, just asks. I have had numerous conversations with him about items as diverse as machinist's dye to welding rod. Had to draw pictures some times but he's never failed at the end to understand. The only downside is that with the talent and drive he has, he'll end up somewhere other than behind a parts counter making big bucks doing something else.
