thanks Pokie part of the story is I was listening to the radio before we got our first motorcycle and they said the problem with Zeke's generation is that they didn't "tinker" and that tinkerers are inventors and we need more inventors like you.

It is the "bash and tinker" method that pretty much describes what many kids need to learn. Zeke is no exception. It is their learning style. Unfortunately we are sometimes more worried about them getting hurt than allowing them to learn that way. Up until last week I didn't know that metal fume was an issue until someone pointed it out to me.
