I learned tons from my grandpa, I learned how to live off the land, to create everything I needed to eat by growing it or trapping it, he taught me how to pan for gold, how to fix about anything with bailing wire and duct tape, how another mans junk can be reused to make something really nifty, that you could start a conversation about anything with anyone, about the building of the first nuke, about the great depression, and the dust bowl. I miss my grandpa.

Everything since they raised me, but I would have to say I am most thankful for the manners they taught me, the fact that I could cook like a pro when I was 10, and how my grandmother taught me how to step and not stomp around like a horse:)

Never got to spend time with them.

Read, be a decent person, think things through, eat healthily, and always download music for free if possible. Youtube's a good option.
