mowerman Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 We have all made bad decisions. I’ve got a pretty good job now, but I am kicking myself that I didn’t start working there long ago. My retirement would’ve been a lot bigger welcome aboard my my dad‘s friend put two kids through college with a shoeshine box but that was back in the 40s and 50s When everyone was using them Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73168-charlie-b/#findComment-536955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
