Working Men

As you may remember, Porter asked for "real tools" for Christmas.  Orrin and I took a trip to Harbor Freight to load up on inexpensive wrenches, ratchets, screwdrivers, clamps... the whole shebang.  I planned on everything lasting maybe a week.  What can I say?   I may be a bit on the pessimistic side.

But Mr. Porter Pot has surprised me.  He takes dang good care of his tools.  He doesn't use them for playing (he gets rather upset if someone tries to).  They all stay in the tool box and are only pulled out for when he is fixing something.

Like when Dad is working on his motorcycle.  Porter will run into his room, pull out his tools, lug them into the garage, and then gets to work.

Orrin is amazingly patient.  He's slowly teaching PG the name of all of the tools and the sizes of the wrenches and ratchets.  He lets Porter get right down in there when he's taking apart the motor or changing the oil in my car.  OP is an amazing dad, if I do say so myself.

I can't wait till Lil' Wyatt has his chubby cheeks pressed in there too.
