Some pics

I had my niece's 7 year old boy Rio overnight. I thought the lad could use some tractor time. His parents are divorced and his dad is a schmuck. This is a couple of my vintage Sears garden tractors, I think I already posted pics of the loader.

Plowing


Moving a dirt pile




And going for pizza after a hard day's work

Years ago i was following the work of a fellow that wrote and lectured on the issues that men have growing up and taking their place in the world. In short it is the uncles that provide a young mans sense of arrival into manhood.
Look around. Many young guys today never have that connection.
Good man WB.

Sure, come get it. I was going to take off the stuff I can ebay and haul the rest to the crusher. It has a Targetmaster 350 in it (remember those substandard "new" engines chevy sold us in the 80s?) 67, Montana truck, rough, no title, bed already gone.

Way to mentor WB3, Some of my best times in life as a youngster were spent with my uncles.

Well, I hope I did some good. He acts a lot like his dad, selfish, argumentative and disrespectful. I grew up pretty structured in those points so I had to softly bring him back to center, or attempt to, quite often.

Sometimes kids will listen to Uncles better than their parents. Parents never know anything in their eyes, but Uncles are different.

Nothing a trip to the wood shed can't fix... and take the boy's father while you're at it.

Good on you for taking interest in a young man's life. Wood shed aside, you're leaving a mark and hopefully a lasting impression...

I use the "learn-ed thump". You can sneak one in anywhere, doesn't leave a noticeable mark and it seldom takes more than a couple to tech a kid that I mean business. Just last week, I administered the non lethal version of a Vulcan death grip on both he and his sister. It was a family gathering and they were asked several times by other people to stop horsing around. I quietly got up, walked over, placed both in the grip and quickly but softly explained that I don't ask nice twice. Not another problem all evening. They're really not bad kids, just bad parenting.

Agreed, once kids know what is expected of them, they generally will stay inline better than if they are just allowed to run wild...
