And it wasn't just play... Fixing flats when I wasn't big enough to put the wheel up on the machine. I'd get help lifting it up there, and I'd take it from there! Putting cars up on the lift, changing oil, had to raise it only part way up so I could reach it!

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents.
