Rhett is super skilled now at his job. That Toyota pull with the Jet Ski's shows how well he knowns how to help just enough without letting the towline get too slack. And I mean, in the sand with those loads, it is really an ART, and he is an artist now, like his Dad. And regarding the professional handshake at the end of a job. Kudo's to Matt for teaching this dwindling but necessary tradition. Regardless of what you say Rhett, what you are really saying is "I am a man and my word is my bond. I see you and expect the same, and give you the same respect (women also of course but it is especially a Man thing to Shake a hand and show mutual respect.) I SEE you. You have SEEN me. Respect. It is a behavioral contract that demands honesty and good intentions. These things were a life and death covenant in the old world, and they are still important in the modern world. A hand shake means something, and I would not shake a mans hand unless I had at least minimal respect for them. Sometimes I cheat in the modern times and do a fist bump. It means the same thing, but is not as tactile as a firm handshake. Don't be a soft pudding, but don't try to get into a squeezing contest either. Just show some fortitude and humility What you say is less important than the respect you show. These are things passed down from my father and my fathers fathers as being important in greeting and de-greeting other men. And in business, with women or men, it means integrity. Databyter
