Chase does brakes...

Katys truck needed rear breaks, what better person to do that than the 15 yr old that just got his learners permit.

Yes son, its lesson 27 subsection C. You must know how to change out break pads before you can get your license.

We are doing the parent taught drivers ed. So we make up our own lesson plans. Being the smart guy I am I figured that hands on instead of slides would be best.

Next is oil change.

HIllary knows how to put oil in her car. Although she did put 1/3 of a quart of tranny fluid in last time at least she caught it. She also knows how to change wipper blades and change a tire.

Teenagers can be good if you know how to work it!

I burned both arms...welding on my new pedal car.

I was working on the top, observation part and had finished welding and went o jump up on top.....didnt mean for my arms to lay on the hot just welded metal...

Sad thing is I wear safety glasses at all times (never did growing up)
and I have about 20 pairs of gloves that I make everyone wear when they come over....including myself...

Just took a little slip and next thing you know I am saying words that would make my mom blush...

well that was lesson number 25,678 for me....

of course 4 hours later I cut my head on a pipe and bled some...and I have had that lesson before heck!

Right arm...
