My 13 yr old son, my only son, youngest of three, has no interest in ANYTHING I do. He is smart, almost too smart, a good student, almost too good. He has no interest in anything I do inside or out. He hates old tractors, grease, dirt, heck-anything with a motor. I tried over the years to include him. He could fix stuff if he wanted, he's smart enough, but thinks fixing is a waste of time. We live in the country-have no neighbors under the age of 80 so old time playing like we did is out. I bought a quad runner, I think he rode it twice and that was hard cuz we're not doing good money wise. Hes trying sports-broke leg twice (he's skinny)-but not discouraged. But, its pretty obvious he'll not be an all star. He's got more courage than me. I was the shop class geek in school, hanging out, smoking and working on cars when I was in school. I feel he's lazy. But he does have a ton of homework. I think if I left or dropped dead he wouldn't notice. I beg him to do a few chores which he ALWAYS does half a$$ed. WE have absolutely nothing in common. He's bored and I'm heart broke knowing when he is an adult He'll go and not look back.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
