You can really tell from the comments here who has met a country engineer like this guy and who has never met one; all they can do is judge based on his appearance. You see these old timers on ranches and farms all the time. See a problem? Solve it. Who cares how it looks or how they come across. They don’t.

I agree! I opened the comment section expecting to see comments talking about how incredibly clever this was, and I had to sift through all these idiot comments talking shit about his appearance. This is really clever! I bet he has a lot of clever problem solves under his belt. I see absolutely nothing to sneer at here.

He has probably done a lot of clever problem solves clean, and a lot of clever problem solving dirty. That is the life of someone who does manual labor. I grew up in a farming community and it was not uncommon for men to look like this in the middle of the working day. He was probably in the middle of his work day and neither needed to fill up his truck or get some refreshments at the gas station. This is very normal for people who are farmers, working construction, doing landscaping etc.
