I walked into a parts department at a Ford car dealership to buy parts. Within the hour, I had a job working for them because I knew what a MAF was and how to diagnose it. I also gave them a reason to buy a nitrogen EVAP tester, as I knew how it worked. I worked there until they closed their doors.

I walked into a Mcdonald's in 1999 and told them I could "close."

I told them they couldn't afford to let me walk out the door.

I stayed there until I maxed out on pay. I started that night, worked 43 straight days, and had corporate involved in my resistance to take a day off.

A teacher of an autobody course hired me, because I was the only one who "got it."

I worked there until I was too much in demand.

I worked for myself from 1995 until 2007 when the twp said I was in violation of zoning. I told them to eat my sh-*t. they fined me $500 per day for almost a month. I went broke.

Then I started farming full time because farming is much easier than running a bodyshop, or working at Mcdonald's on a low crew night for 7 days a week.



Oh, I am not 60. I am the last one who can find a way to make money and hold a job and not complain. I am a complete jerk when it comes to work. I will tell you to shut up and quit whining and go lay down in a grave if you think the work is to hard.

If anyone challenged me, I paid them to come bale hay, and had them get things done. Then I told them pay day was in novemeber, not every 2 weeks.

No one ever challenged me after that. they shut up and put up, or they got out.



I give up, lately. I can't do that anymore, it isnot politically correct and you can't do that stuff anymore.

Oh well. Let them eat the trees they hug when nothing is there to support them.
