I never got a regular wage either, but dad would give me money from time to time for comic books and ice cream bars. By the time I was driving, dad ran a tab at the local gas station, and I could fill up when I needed to. I always seemed to have money. I started working after 8th grade graduation, but still got Prom money and such from dad as needed.
The telephone guy came one afternoon in the summer, when I was about 12- said he had to turn the phone off, because mom had apparently forgotten to pay the bill. I told the guy we didn't have any cash but I could write him a check (I was already raising cattle and the feed store guy had helped me set up a checking account). He said he couldn't take a check from me, but was there anywhere around that would cash my check so I could give him cash? I told him the service station, about 2 miles away, so we jumped in his rig and went there. I told Mr. Hughey that I needed 8 dollars and some cents to pay the phone bill, and would he cash my check? He said, "No need to waste a check"- and he just gave me the money out of the till. The phone guy got quite a kick out of it.
As I was getting out when he took me home, he said "Glad we could get this taken care of without the expense of a disconnect, and thanks for giving me a good story to tell the guys back at the shop."

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
