I was lucky in my youth lol the family had 4 biz … 2 legit and 2 black market lol the moonshine all year, the marijuana in the ‘green’ months and the construction and jewelry/silversmith in the winter mostly. always had plenty of work to be done so no time to get into trouble…much!
I DID still manage to get my ass in a jam now and then lol but not too bad…
,mostly for fighting in school or out of

Dad had all that figured out. Keep your boys worn out and they’re less likely to run into trouble.
Dad didn’t know, I just took my time and walked into trouble. Too many times.
But lawns are my work!

I moved on to better things after i turned like 10 lol
gramps paid me well to help harvest, and also I was into the silversmithing too by 11-12
For some unknown reason they just wouldn’t ever let me help with the moonshine!
Damn it!
But lol I DID manage to sneak some now n then lol

I say that because I cooked up some for just a few hours and after spraying the plant every day for a few weeks I got nothing. I let another batch cook overnite and tried it for two weeks. Started getting the boy parts. Therefore, my conclusion is that if you cook it longer it gets stronger. I am only saying what has worked for me. I am no expert, but if something works and I see it works, then to me that’s good enuff. I will shut up now.

Yeah well unfortunately my old man cut grass instead of growing it lol
I was 5 or so with a handheld blower getting blown around driveways holding the thing with both hands for dear life. I was 12 or 13 when he put me behind a commercial walk behind and told me to figure it out.
It was actually pretty sweet before then though cause I was the only kid I knew who had never had to mow their lawn. I actually never even started a homeowner mower until I was well into my 20s, after cutting commercially for a decade.

It’s great as a young guy. Making more than your friends, stay in shape and get tan, hot girls sunbathing. Great job to be high all day at lol.
I left it for awhile and am now falling back on it on my own because of the flexibility in hours it affords me. If I can make the same amount in tow days a week as I would working for someone else that’s ok too!

lol Even in my ‘diminished’ state… there’s a lot going on in all the rooms and outdoors for me. I just have to let my wife and son/his wife take up some of the load.
I currently have the barn with two big rooms and one small room, both of the spare bedrooms in the house, and the outdoors plot. They all need daily attention, rain or shine, sick or not…
