I was leaving the Drug store and observed a guy working on a Motorcycle in the parking lot.
Quite out of character for me, for some reason I asked him if he had everything he needed.
He responded that he did, but even more out of character I said well if you needed a specific tool I probably have it.

He said that if I had a small pair of pliers that would help.
I did, so I carried him over a small pair of pliers.
He mentioned that in his service truck he has tools but on the bike he only had a small pouch of tools, said he did HVAC and electrical work.

He was trying to put the gas line on the shut off valve and had been using a pair of dikes and cut through it, so he had to shorten it and could barely get it to reach the fitting.

About the time he started to remove the hose clamp and I noticed he only had a portion of one arm. He was using the stump though. I reached in and slide the hose over the fitting and he tightened the clamp. I wished him luck and went on my way. He God Blessed me.

So here is a guy with half an arm, working as an HVAC and electrical technician and riding a Harley. He sure isn't a quitter.

I got it made!
Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!
