Well, while I was a head I still had a shop in a two car garage. I would go to school in the morning, then come home in the afternoon to work. When I wasn't working on the road crew in the jackhammer truck. I was turning wrenches. My teachers took interest in me for some strange reason, and encouraged me to take shop, we also had a motorcycle course which was only one semester long. But if I wasn't turning wrenches I was busting through the bedrock with a pneumatic hammer.
