He bought land and I remember helping him clear part of from pine trees, we added rooms to our small house, we built garages and sheds. Poured concrete slabs and driveways, we had a few cows, and I remember always going to get hay and taking care of them. So many memories but everyday there was always work to do. He told me,” you’re here with me so that you know what hard work really is, so that you go out and get a good education and live a better life than your mother and I, you don’t want to spend your whole life destroying your body.” So I became a Mechanical Engineer , working in Aerospace now.

100%, sometimes it's nice to shoot the breeze, but sometimes I feel like I am going to miss something, especially when it's a bit more complex or I am doing thorough diagnositics

[@4ford6first0]

I need to know more about the fiber optics in your work truck.

[@gatti7740]

Not trying to make anyone mad but was that a man or women that you changed the oil for?

[@randyanderson4360]

🤔🤔🤔🧐🤦 nope not goin' there!!!

[@Zerkz]

I count the years I helped my dad with mechanicing. Its experience, so it counts.

[@JRWeezy84]

Lol i youtubed a TON of stuff to repair my cars and never had any problems.

[@6lemans10]

Some people can't follow directions.

[@db11750]

You can youtube any job but you still need the skills to know what you are doing. I've fixed multiple things with youtube I have a semi intermediate understanding of mechanics and sometime just need to know how things go.

They share that car, ya dunce.

[@klwthe3rd]

First he said Electrican. Then he said construction. Driving mom's car i'm betting it's neither.

[@linslus100]

@@klwthe3rd you know you can be an electrician in construction site? How do you think a building gets its electrics?

[@klwthe3rd]

@@linslus100 Yes it's possible i guess. But when someone works in that capacity they usually state something like, "i work as a electrican for a construction company". But you could be correct.

[@mchael]

​@@klwthe3rd saying you are "in construction" is a general term, electricians are a part of construction.

[@MachiavellianSoldier]

How do you not have time to make an appointment? 😂

I guess when they say it’s “easier to take apart then reassemble” this is what they mean lol

[@SrzMMC]

You should really consider one of those new 550ft lbs m12s! They’re insane

Mike and the Mechanics 😎

[@echo-hotel]

I loved being a mechanic in my younger years. But I just couldn’t deal with all the talking. Why do we have to talk? 😅

[@chrissrtredeyredkey9729]

Welll shit for a electrician he got that ball joint right in 😂😂

[@GhostShip682]

No, we can’t KZbin every repair, but I’ll give it a shot.

[@shandonmeadows8620]

What’s up from Columbia, Missouri Matt!! Keep up the good and humble work!

[@OscarHernandez-zv9eq]

You inspire so many people dude!

[@Skidmark0606]

Maintenance items I can do myself. When it comes to more convoluted jobs, I would much rather not risk it. I’ve done a knock sensor on my old V6 camry, ended up taking it to a mechanic 2 months later for the sensor anyways. It's just better to sometimes spend a little more for an easier life.

Straight forward truth from the owners is what you need for sure 👍 man does nobody clean their vehicles ?

[@jtalks5]

That gut instinct is god.

[@Dan.Parker]

Good example why I never use power tools on cars except for the wheels.

[@ocwpzw]

Why did you have to replace the whole axle? Just the outer joint would be sufficient repair.

[@RussellBooth1977]

I am an electrician by trade as well,an.electrical fitter/mechanic so I have repaired power tools, dough mixers (gearboxes in them) , commercial front & top loader washing machines (bearing change & gearbox rebuilds), electrical motor rewinds & overhauls as well as mine workshop & construction work as well as panel wiring. I have also helped wire up bulk haulage trains 16 years ago & I also did a small automotive course at tech 30 years ago (automotive industrial) which was an introductory course tu become a diesel fitter or diesel mechanic. The tech dissuaded me from becoming a mechanic for some reason but I have also been unemployed for 16 months in Australia in the electrical trade so there's something wrong,I do just about all of the work on my car. I have rebuilt a few car & lawnmower engines in the past !

[@medix1203]

You found a unicorn.... An electrician that keeps his area clean? Yes you definitely came across a unicorn.
