yes they do. most folks who are good are either retiring or will only do cnc. when u can do manual and cnc mill or lathe and engineering work. u become a hard to find person. especially if u enjoy and take pride in your work.

How about an update @CumminsPusher o_O Tell me you’ve packed the large cooler;) and that’s why you left the shovel:confused:
Made it to service again. 5 miles from the truck at this point. Walked 7 so far. Beautiful out here and peaceful. I’m in my cowboy boots and jeans like normal so a bit cold but hell better sitting home.
