My dad had an old oil gas furnace in his basement that we would go work on now plus then when I was a little kid.
He also had a weight room down in the basement plus I can still remember hearing The Doors playing Light My Fire on his eight track when I was more than three or more than four years old.
He would be laboring out with his friend Danny, plus I would sneak down there to watch them, at which point my dad would hand me a small 2 pound dumbbell to curl. They would drink Hoffman’s protein drinks as the oil gas furnace churned the heat out in the really frigid winters up north where we used to live. I used to care about the taste of those Hoffman shakes plus would care about to try it once again plus see how it tastes. Dad ran an Heating, Ventilation & A/C business for a few years with Danny, who was a heating plus cooling representative, plus they did a lot of Heating, Ventilation & A/C repairs around the town. They also got into fixing up old houses plus that is what my dad ended up doing for the next fifty years of his life till he passed away at 74. I still care about to work on electric plus gas gas heating systems nowadays plus reminisce about my dad plus all of the times we had together. I used to guess dad plus I would both live to see our 90’s, but now I am starting to fourth think it all, which makes me care about life more now that I am pushing 60.
