No, I shouldnt be allowed in a civic cause im 6'3 235 lbs haha.

I was fortunate that I grew up on a farm, learned how to operate equipment, drive ... well anything with wheels (usually farmer fixed stuff too!) and fix pretty much anything that can break. I have my moments on the road just like everyone else, but I sure have them alot less then most!

Luckily I dont have much experience with other equipment operators. I have a solo business, and usually Im in there digging before any other equipment is around. I cant see their mistakes, and they cant see mine

I had it easy when I was a kid compared to my dad, and he had it easy compared to his dad, and my other grandfather. Those old boys knew how to put in a days work. Im very proud to have picked up work ethics from both of my grandpa's.

My one grandfather was a hell of an interesting guy. He came right from russia and snuck over to Canada. He went through alot of torture, and other horrible crap I dont even know. That made him a hell of a strong, tough man, and he implemented those qualities into his work ethics. He wasnt a large man either, but he took sh17 from no one, and if they didnt back down, he would get his rifle to show them he was serious!

Little off topic I know
