Ed, this made me laugh, and brought back some precious memories. Having
raised two daughters, I was always tickled when they showed an interest
in what I was doing in the shop. Now one has moved away and the other
has the busy life of a high school junior.
 
One of my favorite photos is one of the girls standing on the fender of
a Scout while checking the oil. The dipstick is almost as long as she
was tall.

I hear ya, I get a lot more done now but the jobs feel a bit lonely at
times.

My youngest still finds the time and interest to spend some quality
time with me in the shop, the MIG has her attention (art projects).
