Good deed for the day...

Well I went to check on an eldery couple that sometimes needs help. And I find the old man trying to put a starter in his old 72 or 73 truck....he had a rope tied to it and was trying to get it installed...well needless to say I helped him put it in and got the truck running again...I dont think he had a chance trying to do it the way he was doing it...I'll give him an "A" for effort.

 

Yea some of us can be to stubborn to ask for help where did the last 50 years go.

Glad you were able to offer a hand and help

 

I get that way too but at some point a person has to ask for help...

 

Tough to get old for sure

 

especially when you were super active when young and age, arthritis, life has worn you down...

No better feeling than getting some help when you need it most. I'm sure this kind act will be returned to you!

 

Can I chime in from the old man's point of view? I wouldn't expect anyone of the 'kids' (40 and under) to even know how to install a starter. I'm not going door-to-door asking my neighbors for help.

Kudo's to the OP - If you didn't offer, I wasn't going to ask... - Thanks!

 

I bet 98% of these millenials dont even know where the starter is...This summer I passed by a kid working on an old 70's Ford truck and asked if he needed help. He was changing sparkplugs and wires. He was prob 17 at the oldest. I chatted with him for a few and let him get back to work...it was actually refreshing to see a young kid working on HIS old truck!
