Sure, if you pay the airfare :-P

Did I say you have no skill?  No.

Using the right tool for the right job gets you a long way.  Skills get
you further.

Could you lay down the same-sized bead of weld on same-thickness steel
using a cheap arc welder?  I know I couldn't, simply because I know I
haven't put in the years of practice to develop such skills.

Another way of putting it would be:
	"tools you buy, skills you earn"

:-)
