Sadly, most people these days have no idea how things work let alone repair them. That goes for cooking meals. Unless it comes prepared in a box ready to heat, they're lost.
It's our modern society. Not to say it's wrong, simply different from my upbringing. Heck, when I was about 6 years old I was given a soldering iron (not gun) and taught how to use it.
In the automobile world, starters, alternators, transmissions, engines etc were rebuilt at a local level. No more. For the most part, repair parts aren't available. Even if they were, the rebuild labour costs would
end up driving the net cost of replacing the assembly with either a new or remanufactured part where these parts are rebuilt en masse.
Now I am on a roll: Most people of to day can't do math unless they have a calculator or stare @ the cash register so they will know what the customer is owed in the way of change. Even that is on the way out
with the use of credit/debit cards that are being superseded by the almighty phone.
Our world is in a constant state of change. Some good and some not.
I am curious as to wether the youth of today are enjoying life as much as we did 65 to 70 years ago.
Back to the Daniel Boone. Perhaps there were other reasons why the pit was sold for a pittance. Whatever the case, looks as if you got a good deal.
