How Old People Change Leaf Springs.....

[Tbar]

We get our physically fit, mechanically inclined, 25 year old son to do it.
I was amazed at how much the springs had sagged.

About time he paid you back for some of his raising, glad he was able to help out.
Make a hard job a little easer.

The Ultimate Compliment.........

After we finished the springs my son thanks me for all the things I have taught him regarding auto mechanics and home improvement over the years. He says he did a rough guesstimate recently on how much money he had either made working side jobs for people or saved doing work for himself using that knowledge. I was amazed at the figure and humbled by his gratitude. I learned all this stuff from my father and passed it on to my son but I never expressed appreciation to dad for what he taught me......now I wished I had.

(My son started working on his friends vehicles at age 16....once a week on average the wife and I would come home from work and find him working on someones car in our garage)

Pretty impressive that both our kids regularly express appreciation for how they were raised and what we taught them.

Oh.......and the daughter calls us today and tells us we are going to be grandparents again. This will be number 3.
