So tonight George turned 5 and we celebrated his birthday the way he wanted. I was driving around earlier this week thinking about all the things he enjoys and above all he loves building things. I few months back I built him a work bench fit for him and gave him his “ONSC Toolbag” and a few simple tools.
So as a new tradition I’ve decided that starting this year I will give him a new tool, every year, to put into his bag so that when he is at the age he really needs to fix something critical he will have the necessary tools to do the job. Tonight he got his first simple ratchet and socket set just to get familiar with them (later I will upgrade) but never ask him to replace these. Hopefully this will keep him thinking and creating as many have lost this today in the world of social media and how to use your hands as working hands. We have so many young cruiser heads that have learned from us over the years now wrenching on their own trucks, just makes me happy to see the traditions and in following that I thought this was a good way to start something similar for George. I will post pics later of him getting his socket set tonight.
