Well I don't like to fail and I strive to never fail.Plus the college is small enough where the instructors know you by name.Which is a big plus.

I have always worked on my own stuff unless it was something that i could really not do. Right now we are building the main building and six houses for our dude ranch operation and my older brother knows how to wire everything and i have no idea what I'm doing so i stand and watch and try to learn. Not my cup of tea. When it comes to trucks i school his *** tho.
