<p>[QUOTE="kountryken, post: 7694243, member: 89798"]This brought back a lot of memories, from a long time ago. I grew up (well, I'm not sure I've ever grown up, lol) working with my dad on anything and everything (except automatic transmissions). We were like most families, couldn't afford to pay someone to do it, so, if it needed doing, we did it ourselves. I've rebuilt everything on a vehicle (except ATs, remember), raised livestock, gardens, dug water wells, and all types of carpenter work. Currently I'm getting close to a Complete remodel of my house (just finishing a travel trailer remodel), the only part I've hired out is the taping, floating and painting, because I don't like doing that, and I can afford to let someone else do it. I've had both knees replaced (one twice) and my lower back is fused, L3-5. I'm not complaining, I'm extremely blessed. Thanks to my dad, I learned to work on almost anything? Slowing down, though. Can't afford to keep replacing body parts, lol. June 30th I'll be 74, so I think I'll try to focus more on my Coin collecting! Thanks for reminding me of working with my dad. Now, back to looking for a tribute Penny, in my budget, lol. Love CT![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
