Message: [QUOTE="TheShot1990, post: 5312075, member: 12911"] Also Hartford Courant carrier and mowed lawns starting at age 11. That's when I learned that 2% of my neighborhood were nasty people. How do you yell at an 11 year old because your paper didn't arrive by 6:30 am? Damn those Sunday papers were friggin heavy. Sometimes my dad would drive me around on Sundays when he saw I was struggling. Then at age 16 worked in an apple orchard climbing the trees and cutting excess growth (suckers as the farmer called them) off the trees. He paid me $1.50 an hour off the books which was much better than being a paper boy. After work we'd take my friend's 125cc Yamaha dirt bike and go blasting around the woods - not sure I've ever had as much fun since. [/QUOTE]
