There ya go. I did farm work on my cousins farm also. It felt good, grown up to be working. I think a bucket of cherries as 50 cents, bucket of apricots was a quarter, Dried trays a buck. The irrigation and the rest was a great farm lunch.
Two summers I worked at a Tannery when they had training for students to learn maintenance , carpentry, welding, all the cool skills.
I enjoyed having my own real bank account, saving, learning and the old guys telling me if I stick with it they have a friend who will hire me.
I didn’t have any money as my Father died when I was young but I understood I must work for any spending money.
I survived and now I need to bail out a major construction project on power systems.
Life is interesting.
