      @@mykee426 Loved Alan's song 'Drive.' I taught both of my girls to drive manual shift in our old Nissan farm and plow truck when they were old enough to reach the pedals. Then, both drove our 68' Mustang 3 speed to their proms. They ride ATV's and the youngest is pretty darn good in the fields with our family tractor.
      Elijah was smiling big near the end when he said 'Awesome, I may have to take it for more of a ride!'

    Getting them involved teaches them so many life lessons. I was responsible for mowing our 3 acres lawn (2 planted to pine trees), when I was between 10 and 12. I also learned how to maintain equipment.

    Hello Sir, you are a very special father. My son is grown now. (He turned 30 this past May 21st)he was always helping me with everything I did when he was young sometimes the job didn’t get done as quickly but that wasn’t important, seeing him learn something valuable was and seeing the big smile on his face when I praised him for the good job he did gave me such a good feeling inside. He gave me a grandson (6yrs. Oldnext month)that I do the same thing with. When I watched your boy get off that tractor 🚜 you could tell that he had grownup by completing that task and making you so proud.That moment took me back as I am now going to be 62 in July and do miss those days terribly!you even look like my son, he’s 30, and a big guy like you, your beard is just like his also. I just came across your video by chance, and something told me to watch it. I gave a thumbs up 👍🏻 and subscribed. Can’t wait to watch more!!!! You have touched my life and definitely made my day. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. Martin in Frostproof Fl.

My father taught all 6 of my siblings to do for ourselves. I even taught my husband how to change the oil in our vehicles, how to shoot a gun , how to fix whatever needed to be done. All because my father gave me the confidence to try. I’m now 63 and I still have all those great memories of all my father did for me. Thanks for being a great DAD.👍
