My dad had an ancient oil furnace in his basement that my buddy and I would go labor on now as well as then when I was a little kid.
He also had a weight room down in the basement as well as I can still remember hearing The Doors playing Light My Fire on his eight track when I was four or five years old.
He would be working out with his friend Danny, as well as 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 furnace churned the heat out in the actually chilly winters up north where my buddy and I used to live. I used to cherish the taste of those Hoffman shakes as well as would like to try it once again as well as see how it tastes. Dad ran an Heating plus A/C supplier for a few years with Danny, who was a heating as well as cooling representative, as well as they did a lot of Heating plus A/C repairs around the town. They also got into fixing up ancient houses as well as that is what my dad ended up doing for the next fifty years of his life till he passed away at 68. I still like to labor on electric as well as furnaces nowadays as well as reminisce about my dad as well as all of the times my buddy and I had together. I used to guess dad as well as I would both live to see our 90’s, but now I am starting to second guess it all, which makes me appreciate life more now that I am pushing 60.
