Hey Old NFO;
Very true and accurate. Reminds me of Murphy’s law( no offense to Murphy of course)
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he’ll blow all his money on tackle, a boat, motors, rods and reels, and fancy nets used by the pros.
Beats a good day at work any day.
