I think I would have traded you today.

I agreed to "point and laugh" at my nephew while he changed

the rear struts on his Pontiac. I told him I was not doing it for him

but he could use my shop, all my air tools and any special

tools required as long as he listened to how they worked.

I also told him since it was his first time doing such a job to plan

on 8 hours if everything went as expected.

This particular nephew is 22 years old and doesn't know "lefty

loosy, righty tighty" or the difference between a nut and a bolt.

It took him more than an hour to jack the car up and put it on

jack stands. 5 1/2 hours later he had one strut changed.

Complete, bolt in units, no spring compression required.

He begged out of doing the other side for today.

"Do that one another day." Ok. His car.

He did in fact get one side done and learned how some tools

work that he had never heard of, like a torque wrench.

It is very frustrating for me not to just say "get out of the

way and let me do it!" But he doesn't learn anything that way.

Other than "drop it off and it magically gets fixed".

I'm getting too old for that.

They need to learn while I can still help.

Or earn enough to take it somewhere else.
