Today was one of those rare great days in life! My 10 year old got up on this AM and instead of watching cartoons, he wanted to WELD! So we Z'd the rear of the Model A frame which was on the list ot do but had been been set aside. I also introduced him to the one and only band that ever mattered - THE CLASH! We listened to "London Calling" about 10 times and cut and danced and welded our day away. Later in the afternoon we had to stop so Levi could go to his belt test for Tae kwon do. He passed to a green belt which is half way to black belt. To my suprise and of course absolute pleasure he proceeded to beat his opponent in sparring, not only beat him but knocked him down THREE times in the span of a 2 minute round. Attached is a photo of said thrashing. I know this is somewhat O/T but the things that make a Poppa happy, working on the rod with the boy, THE CLASH, and a good old fasion ass kickin!
Ha Ha...cool shit, man! The boy knows how to weld, rock and throw a punch??? Teach him to drink in a few years and he'll be set! (I know what ya mean about the music...I tend to fire up my early Van Halen bootleg from '76 and it puts me in the mood to groove through a project...and I pop in a live video of a local band when I draw stuff for other HAMBers...you can get shit done without rock-n-roll...but WHY?? )
