True enough, but they were 110% familiar with what they did have and used them daily to hone their skills!  As Clint Eastwood said in a Dirty Harry Vid, " a man has got to know his limitations"... I'd second that notion and At this age I have time, not the skill, nor the patience...and Only Got know if I have the time but my mental acuity seems to have slipped some along with my vision of late... Could be the cancer meds or just age---dunno. We're all different... but I can admire talent when I see it!

Winter Hawk:
Amen to that!
