Hoo Wee what a week, was on Social media a while back where a young Woman was touting her skills as a Light and Medium Duty mechanic of Diesel engines(Primary RAM Cummins and some Ford 6.0/6.7) was looking for followers so I lauded her work and added glad to see youth entering the system.

Saw all too many times back in my heydays as young women attempted to gain Mechanic Money and skills to fix their own jalopies only to fail out as could not contend with Heavy Awkward or just nasty jobs where we were on Production Rate $$ and everyone was On their own save for a Foreman offering a hand or some extra muscle now and then. Just could not hack it On Their Own. Was hoping this young woman was able to get there and voiced that. So came the Well Who are You response and a Unfollow where I just backed away.

Yesterday saw on my media a Follower request(Do NOT get many), was her. Seems she may have cascaded down that slick slide and disheartened more than just I. Her total Follower numbers dropped from in thousands to a scant couple hundred. Perhaps she did anger or at least dishearten a few more.
