Well I just never really noticed it or paid attention to what it was lmao

It's all good. I've been in my own profession for decades and still learn new things every day.
It's when we stop learning or when we think we know it all that we have to worry...

Well, just because you're experienced in a field doesn't mean you've learned everything in that field. How many mechanics have never rebuilt or even opened a transmission or differential? Everything is something new to everyone at some point.
I've had silly aha moments in my own profession where I learned/discovered something that I should've probably known for years.

There is nothing I can’t fix. Nothing. From electrical. To welding. To control wiring. To plumbing. I’ve never opened a transmission. I’ve rebuilt many industrial gearboxes. Never opened a differential. Just saying. Not much I haven’t worked on. I do agree though. Lots I do not know……I will say….groundstrap man, c’mon welcome!
