soapweed,
very well put...that little story that you had about sitting in the class room is exactly how i felt...ive been reading on here for awhile and make a few posts here and there but from the posts you've wrote, i consider you a mentor...even tho i dont know you personally, you have a good outlook for life and advice...a wiseman once told me to pick your good friends carefully and have a mentor or someone you can look up to...your my mentor on ranchers :wink: ...another wise person, besides you, told me that the key to life is moderation...nothing is better advice then that...whether its smoking or drinking, or not getting to far to the left or to the right in any situation
i was waiting to see what you had to say about this subject

I agree here... I have come to believe in a very short time that the "Soapweed Gang" is a very genuine bunch. Ya just gotta like the way they write, respond, and post pics. I don't know them either, but Soap's posts are the first I look for!

Thank you, gentlemen. I'm just a regular sort of guy, admittedly a bit gunshy when it comes to too much pomp and circumstance. :wink: I am not of the tuxedo/limousine crowd, but more of a blue jeans/Ford pickup sort of feller.

I have often said that I would like my kids to take a year or two off after high school to work.

I didn't do that. I took a couple years off after the first couple years of college.

It made all the difference in the world.

I was goin to stay out of this until Badlands made this statement.
I went directly from high school into college. In my senior year I suddenedly realized I wasn't sure where and what I wanted to do after graduation. So I kicked around for a number of years after school tryin different things. If I'd reversed the senerio I think I'd made better use of the time & direction I spent in college.
I eventually ended up in a field that utilized part of my education, but I honestly wish I taken that "educational break" first instead of last. I think I'd have been alittle wiser prior to being "educated".
