It was also the most fun job I ever had but it had the worst moments. When I was in high school I worked for a couple of years for a store manager who was averse to paying grownups to do repair jobs so I got to come in at night and do things like replace dozens of fluorescent ballasts while standing on a wobbly 20-foot step ladder (no way he'd spring for renting a scissor lift). The nasty parts were the jobs where he was averse even to paying me to do the job so he'd get his son to do it for free, and then he'd later have to pay me to un-do the disaster his son had created and re-do the job. I recall for example having to re-tile a section of the store where his son had laid vinyl tiles in about a quarter-inch bed of black mastic and it was oozing all over the place. I had to pull up all the tiles without breaking any, scrape off the excess mastic from the floor, wash all the tiles with mineral spirits, and then re-lay them, all before the store opened the next morning.
I've done a lot of far worse tasks (involving fiberglass, sewage pipes, dead animals, etc.) but they were all working for myself so they don't count as "jobs", right?

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
