== OBSERVATION (SEEING DAD) ==

Something shared by an 'old timer' in the late 1980's about how we see Dad over time.Howard Goodfellow (rip) was turning 60 at the time.

At 5 - Dad knows everything!

At 7 - Dad knows a lot.

At 10 - Maybe Dad doesn't know everything.

At 12 - Hmm... Dad might be wrong sometimes.

At 14 - Dad doesn't get it!

At 16 - I can't always take Dad seriously!

At 18 - What does Dad even know?

At 22 - Dad's opinions feel outdated.

At 24 - I think I know more that Dad.

At 26 - Okay... Dad has some good points.

At 30 - Maybe I should ask Dad about this?

At 40 - How did Dad handle all of this so well?

At 45 - Turns out Dad was right about a lot.

At 50 - I wish I could still ask Dad. There's so much I've love to learn.

This could be a good guide for your projects or working with others by substituting months for years. For me, the increments have resonated well over the years.

I shared the above posts with friend who worked in the transformer testing lab during the 1970's.

Peter Griffiths said "they must have been testing a 330kV unit. You need to test it with atleast 3 times its rating.

It's just-in-case a bolt of lighting hits it."
