Advice from Old People
Sometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

Given a 1970s engine, I could do the same if I had access to parts and had the tools. The problem now is that we use computers for controlling the engine to such a degree that without access to the computer diagnostic equipment and replacement chips I can't fix them.
The problem is that the engines have gotten so fucking complex that you need a hundred grand's worth of equipment to do anything to them.
EDIT: and I recently bought a compound bow. Just in case, ya know.
