this is my son hes 22 years young(emphasis on young). kind of played a lil too hard snowboarding at NAU and mommy(ex) cut off his funds.
he went from mucking pools about a day and 1/2 a week last july, to working 6 days a week 12 hr days on wind turbines. 1st real job he has had.
he has saved up by being a curmudgeon, $10K bucks. not bad for july august sept oct working his butt off.
last july he couldnt rub 2 nickels together.
hes stoked, im stoked. we LOVE TRAINS! told him he can always apply for a transfer down to southern az. UP route.
but once he hits jackson hole powder and steamboat springs champagne powder, he will never want to come home again!
its pretty damn cool watching yer kids FLUTTER THEIR WINGS and PUT THEIR BEST FOOT FORWARD!
now with (2) kids i am batting .500 so far. the older one is selling windshield glass and welding corrals /fences part time. and only has a high school diploma. we are working real hard on turning his azz around. when he heard about his brothers job and what hes gonna make he about poo'd himself. typical older brother jealousy.
