Who else USED TO wrench outside?

Ahoey said

Bought a property when I was 19 moved a mobile on and started life. Had a 69 f100 starter puked had to lay in a snow bank to change it. Frozen fingers and a lot of swearing later got the job done. I told myself never again, next summer put up a shop just a shell but a shop nonetheless better than laying in a snow bank.

I was about 22 years old and my daily driver was a ‘73/4spd Cuda that needed a clutch set up done or it was a 4 miles walk to the train station to get a train to work. Laid out in the snow and got it done. It was early January and I was happy it was not a cold winter. Still, working outside below the freeze mark and wind was not making me happy.

My job as a heavy machine inspector/mechanic was outside all year long.
