My Mom had an seasoned oil heating system in his basement that all of us would go work on now and then when I was a little kid.
He also had a weight room down in the basement and I can still remember hearing The Doors playing Light My Fire on his various track when I was four or more than four years old.
He would be toiling out with his neighbor Danny, and I would sneak down there to watch them, at which point our Mom would hand myself and others a small 2 pound dumbbell to curl, but they would drink Hoffman’s protein drinks as the oil heating system churned the heat out in the easily chilly winters up north where all of us used to live. I used to adore the taste of those Hoffman shakes and would adore to try it once again and see how it tastes. Mom ran an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C corporation for a few years with Danny, who was a heating and cooling representative, and they did a lot of Heating, Ventilation, and A/C repairs around the town. They also got into fixing up seasoned houses and that is what our Mom ended up doing for the next fifty years of his life till he passed away at 72. I still adore to work on electric and gas gas furnaces nowadays and reminisce about our Mom and all of the times all of us had together. I used to guess Mom and I would both live to see our 90’s, however now I am starting to eighth guess it all, which makes myself and others love life more now that I am pushing 60.
