I guess being a mechanic I'm a little backwards since I got hooked on broke tractors instead of the running ones. Mom's got a pic of me somewhere setting on the workbench in Dad's shop, at around age 2,in diapers, with a screwdriver in hand. Within a few years I was tearing down my bike "to fix" even when it wasn't broke, and by 15 I was repairing the neighbors equipment when dad was too busy to do it. I remember one old fellow that came in and saw me working on his tractor when I was about 16 and looked over at Dad and said, "I sure didn't know he was mechanically inclined, I figured he was just another one of those worthless teenagers like the rest of them nowdays". Needless to say it made Dad real proud that I wasn't..... I spent several years working for Uncle Sam and some more for different places and I'm now 36 and have been working with Dad full time for going on 7 years and it's still happy times......
