MJ Hofbauer said:Speaking of jackasses, just wanted to clear something up Fitzo. I tried pm'ing you the other night as wellUnfortunately I'm too poor for a real account and too lazy to send an email. Was just going to say, I didn't take afront to anything you had posted, nor did I mean for anything I replied with to sound that way. You just seemed pretty down on yourself, and was hoping to lift your spirits.
BTW Are there various degrees of jackasses in here? Such as Journeyman Jackass or Senior Executive V.P. Jackass?

Thanks for the thought away.fitzo said:IG, I tried overlaying your toothless Fugly foto on Sweany's pic of the jackass. i thought it would be a fine logo. I'll be danged if the jackass didn't run off the screen and disappear when I tried to do it, though.Guess I've gotta learn to hang onto my ass.

fitzo said:Dan, that's ok. I know what I am! I grew up knowing I'm an AH.
When I was a kid, starting at about 7-8 years old I heard constantly from my Ma, "You're the same AH your Grandfather is!" He was surly, ornery, cussed mean to almost everyone. Now, I was my Grandpa's only blood grandson. He had a sharpening and metal shop in his late years, and was already 70 when I was born. I spent a lot of time in that shop with him, and we loved each other deeply. He was never once mean to me. I might'a been the only person ever he was like that with. I'm utterly certain that's where I got my passion for messing up steel.
When my Ma used to tell me that frequently, she used to get even more pissed at me, because I was just overjoyed to know I could be like Grandpa. If being an AH was what he was, then I wanted to be one, too. I think I carried on the legacy ok.
He died when I was 14. It was harder seeing him go than my parents. I'd gladly have given ten years off my life to be able to show him what I could do in my shop.I like to think he'd be proud.
