BTW most kids couldn’t then either! I used to say it took 15 minutes not 5 to pull the VW engine but even that got me free beer whenever I had to do it. As for the average kid then, I had four different “helpers” over about as many years and not one knew which way to turn a bolt to loosen or tighten it. One adamantly refused to believe the car had a battery even after I showed it to him as- “The car runs and starts on gasoline so it doesn’t need a battery!” and when shown it said “That is not a battery, they are round thingies like in my flashlight!"
At 13 I rebuilt a transmission for a Triumph 3TA motorcycle in my mom’s kitchen. I had the whole bike in there. Damn I miss her, women like that are rare! I knew no other kids doing that or having any real knowledge to either, same as today.

I built/rebuilt lotsa stuff in the house,.....as it was often too cold in my dad's little shop.

I've done my share of VW engine swaps and 14 minutes was my best time with no blood lost. My hat is off to somebody that can do it in 5.

That !!, is a excellent idea. I have seen those rigs a thousand times, and never thought about using them as portable staging.

Your job is not that bad!

Our Grandson had a temperature and we needed a thermometer, so I ran to the store and got one. I wanted to make sure I used it correctly, so I read the instructions.
On the bottom of the instructions it said that "each rectal thermometer has been individually tested".

Think about your worst day at work. Your job is not that bad.

I can see this poor guy coming home from work, walking slowly and moaning.
His wife says hunny come sit down.
Noooooo.
Hunny you look sad, whats wrong?

....... Next week, I've gotta work overtime!
