    had to change a starter on the 6.0 and needed a little set of hands. Turns out he’s a good little helper. Here he is buttoning up the fender well. 1CCB2F96-69AB-429C-81CF-58A11395D53D.jpeg 956CD821-0CD1-4874-85D0-E98B4822CAB5.jpeg 0C91C24A-45A2-417A-A085-5DBC915F2B54.jpeg

    Ah yes. There are those times when little hands come in very handy! Glad he could help and it probably made him feel really good too.

    A firewood round is every bit as good a seat as a milk crate....in that particular instance :yes:

    Yes sir, that was a proud little man. He ran in the house to tell everyone he built dads truck and it starts again. Couldn’t wipe the smile off his face.

    Yessir that’s right. I was proud that he did that on his own. When he was carrying the round to the truck and looked up at me all he said was “ I need a seat”.

    I would love to have a lift. All in all, my little man got to help out. I am lucky that he is teachable, he wants to learn and pays attention without interfering. Asks lots of questions and wants to be shown how to do it, and does not get upset when he can’t quite get it and asks to be shown again until he gets it right. I think has hockey has help him with that trait.

    I think having a good dad doing dad/guy stuff with him helps!

    That is Awesome.
    Being somewhat ham handed and short armed makes a bad combo when I try to do mechanic work.
    Seems I always leave blood somewhere in the vehicle I'm working on.

    I even sometimes have to have my wife put a new oil filter on our atv because it is so hard to reach.

    I guess when you get them used, you don't get the shoes, I am so disappointed.

    Everyone who had a kid run into their shin with one of those Jeeps will agree with how tough they are.
