Well when I was a kid growing up , my Dad had Ford tractors . I started driving solo at age 7 . I could do about anything as far as field work with the tractor . Later in my teen years Dad decided to buy a new Ford with a side mount sickle mower so we could expand our abilities to make money . We didn't own any fram land so Dad used other land for our crops . We kept the owners fields all mowed & in crops in trade . Then dad hired out to PenDot mowing berms . I started doing that at age 15 & my work was liked by the road bosses so much that Dad went back inti garage work as a mechanic . He'd have Mom check up on me at times . Well one day , Dad left a note for me as to what area to mow . So off I went, mowed that area plus went on down the roads further . Well after he got out of the garage for the day , he came looking for me & couldn't find me .At the end of the day he or Mom would come pick me up so I didn't have to drive back .He finally found me & wasn't very happy . Here I was to move to another area when finished instead of going further on the road I did .He had forgotten to make that known to me in his notes . All I have to say is , the beating I took in public that day would've landed Dad in prison if it would've been today .How things have changed . Kids today don't know what work is or how being corrected back then was thought of as permissable . God bless, Ken
