Stop in for a cup of coffee

I spent my youth fishing on my grandfathers boat on the ocean and with my uncle installing house gutters. Also worked with my dad making dune buggy's. Did a lot of fiber glass work back then. and right you are dokeboy I would give anything just for one more time to help my grandfather, uncle or dad.
Same here. Here's a pic of my Dad when he was 92.
My father was in the military so he was gone most of the time. I started working when I was 12 years old while he was in Vietnam, I shoveled snow in the winter time in Allentown Pennsylvania. When he came home from Vietnam, he was stationed at Andrews Air Force Base with the Presidential Air Wing. We lived off base and I cut grass for all the neighbors for money. Two summers vacations while in high school I worked for an Asphalt Paving Crew in Northern Virginia. I worked for Safelite windshield company moving glass around. I also worked at Burger chef as a night manager at age 15. I worked for a carpet and tile installation company for about a year. Then at age 18, I went to work for an Auto Parts Operation for two older guys that owned five stores as a delivery boy. It was on and up from there in their organization. Had my own Small group of stores for quite a few years. Retired at age 44.. Life is good if you work hard.
I always believed if you work hard you would reap rewards. I'm 66 now and still working. Hasn't worked out that way for me so much. I still have a positive attitude and love life. Glad your hard work paid off. Life threw me too many curveballs.

Happy Friday all.
