Sounds like the dad I would say was a "right good dad"!Lucky you! My dad put me to work at 7! I said it was hard to push; he told me I'd get muscles that way.
5 years later and I had my own mowing & small engine repair biz.
When I was 8, he taught me how to shoot. Revolver? S&W Model 19.

Yep, that's a right nice 'un too.

He most likely put me to work to pay for the ammunition that I shot! Man, did I run through the ammo!

Speak for yourself! I'm too old, but I can still shoot.Let's face the facts...
All of us are at the age where we are too old to fight, yet too young to die!!!
If you look for me, I'll be under the mountain of spent brass.

My dad had an '87, and like my Mercury, the starter had to be changed every 4 months on the dot! I could set my calendar to it. I'd jack 'em up, slide a big sheet of cardboard underneath (easier that way when you're on gravel), and got so good at swapping it out I could do it in under 20 minutes!

BTW if you like the stickers, you can get 'em at Tactical Gear Junkie. They're veteran-owned.

I was in my 20s when I was racing and we used my 250 to tow the boat around. It would pull no issues, but wasn't fast enough. Even with the 460 churning up the pavement...
So, being young and insane, we plumbed up twin turbos to the 460. Well, then we were limited by the transmission ratio so we put a 3 speed auxiliary gearbox in it. We soon enough found out we had a bunch more motor than gears, so we installed a two speed rear end in it.
Thus begins the speed ticket phase of my young life....

The little so and so!
While reading an article last night about fathers and sons, memories came flooding back to the time I took me son out for his first pint. Off we went to our local pub only two blocks from the cottage.
I got him a Guinness. He didn’t like it, so I drank it.
Then I got him a Kilkenny’s. He didn’t like that either, so I drank it.
Finally, I thought he might like some Harp Lager! He didn’t. I drank it.
I thought maybe he’d like whiskey better than beer so we tried a Jameson’s. Nope, he didn’t. I drank it.
In desperation, I had him try that rare Redbreast, Ireland’s finest. He wouldn’t even smell it.
What could I do but drink it!
By the time I realized he just didn’t like to drink, I was so hammered I could hardly push his stroller back home...
