    Good morning, I hope.

    I was curious about your shiny snowblower collection in your sig. Is this a hobby or a career obsession?

    Always liked small engine work.

    I’d build a race motor and while waiting on parts I’d work on a small one.

    Since I’m retired now I have free time to play around.

    I had people ask me to help them in a emergency.

    During the summer I do engine work and bigger repairs.

    Sometimes I’ll get one running and give it to someone in a emergency.
    Wouldn’t be perfect as I go through everything on others but it gets them out of a financial bind.

    So, it is a hobby.

    During winter, I work in our race cars for next season and maintain a exotic car collection.

    I’m also painting fishing lures but a few more weeks before starting that up again.

    That's awesome. I'm not any kind of a mechanic, so much respect to those with the skills, knowledge, and desire. :bowdown:

    100% worth it for the unconditional love. Focus on some training and you'll never have a better friend.

    Its gentle prep of your patience for when yall crap out a kid. :rofl:
    I feel ya though. Jett decided to make a jump for the top of my tailgate, missed, and flapped and clawed her way down my paint. Husband had to bust out the compound to get the scratches out (this was my two weeks post op so I had to sit there). Animals a pain in the ass. But theyre cute.

    At least yours was shallow enough to compound and buff out... this is down to the metal. I'm guessing probably 3500 to get it fixed.

    We've taken him to a couple private sessions so far, he's pretty reactive to other dogs currently. Great with people though!
