I grew up hating working on my car! I hated getting my hands greasy and oil and sludge under my finger nails! Back in the day. the mechanic was always filthy and carried a red rag in his pocket so he could "clean" his hand before shaking yours. Today's shops are like operating rooms! Very cool!

There is a man on earth who would say "Hey...what's up Mike..and give me a "pat" with his hand...at the shop... ..on my shirt.....in a certain fashion. Intent...stupidity...I'n not sure. But now.....that little frigg is no longer with a dear dear friend of our family.........yes the mechanics hands.....a sacred sort. It does however from time to time prove that some people just....let them go. Never been to a farmers house where the bar of soap would not tell the tale, of how he lived and how he played.
