any blacksmiths on the line?

I'm going to take the unpopular opinion here and say that he needs to stop letting television influence his hobbies.
why so ?

hes not growing up in the same world we grew up in
does it really matter where he picks his hobbies up at?

as long as he finds something to do, to flow some creativity out, and not be glued to a screen, hes got my blessing

funny story, we got pulled over by the sheriff on the way over to pick it up
now, i was less them 5 miles from home and got pulled over for speeding

the sheriff was a little aprehensive about the stop, since i had illegal plates on the truck (didnt know) and when she first ran the VIN it didnt come up, at all

off course, i had just bought the truck and dint have the papers yet (still dont, for that matter)
when she finally got it figured out, she asked where we were going...which was two states over

well, long story short, we got to talking about why we are going there, and how the boy is wanting to get into forging...turns out she has got horses and so we got into all the farrier talk

it was quite fun
