1. Aaaw!

He's a cutie.

2. Thanks

maybe one day I can sit on the porch and watch him do it himself

3. That will be a fun day!

Mine's old enough to come over from his house to do my brakes PLUS bring me a 6 pack.

It's a great deal! lol

Congrats on getting yours started early.

5. Nice!

I have to bring my old man scotch.

13. Now that you mention it

he did bring me a bottle of Laphroaig Quarter Cask once...but just once. 6 packs fit his budget a little better lol...

4. And the little mechanic during the last election cycle

6. Step 1: get a cold beer

Nobody said a brake job was easy.

[tk2kewl]

7. I took care of that part myself

8. And just how the hell is a 40 lb kid going to operate a rolling floor jack?

9. he got the truck up off the springs, but not off the ground without a hand from dad.

he also used my impact gun on the lug nuts

10. Where are his safety goggles? I've had impact guns kick back in a nasty way.

Hell, anyone in my shop is required to wear them. I've got about 20 pairs here and about. It's required. Even with them, I've had shit get around the edges. I hate to think what would have happened without them.

11. shade tree style

but you make an excellent point. i should get him a pair.

[HopeHoops]

12. Get a bunch. Same with gloves and ear-protection foam inserts. You can't have enough.

Hell, I wear a leather carpenter's apron in the workshop. Good body armor. I use safety goggles AND a full face mask for using the metal grinder. Better safe than in the emergency room.
