PITCH @)#!@*&^

Billy I like the direction of that reply. “One father is more than a hundred Schoolemasters.”Welsh poet George Herbert wrote that almost 400 years ago. I lost my father when I'd just turned 20. One lesson he wanted to teach me was how to listen. I ,like you very bullheaded at the time. He knew the only way I could be taught.... experience. I still think he may have had a little sadistic side in him "God Bless my Dad " . One story we were tuning the El Camino . Now mind you this way back in the 60's before time was like it is today . 327 Chevy . " Chuck reach over and hold onto that wire coming out of the middle of the distributor." Well when he knew I was holding on he revs the engine . My God my hair I imagine stood straight up as the current ran through my veins . He lets up on the pedal gets out of the car comes around to where I shaking and say to me : Now don't ever do that with the motor running again son ." Good Ole Dad

I still have those scars too. It taught me to be a less messy mopper, and to never let anyone else dip. Still always wore cutoffs.

Webmaster Steve Said: I remember the first time I tore off pitch I was 16 and the foreman sent me over to tear off a 2 sq area on the roof but didnt tell me any thing about what pitch does to your skin. by the time I was half way through I was burnin up he thought it was funny, told me that was my initiation.

Sounds like my dad..My 1st time to go to work with him, I was 10, we stopped at the store at 530 to get a drink, he said get a gatorade, I got a chocolate milk, he said put it back and get a gatorade, I asked why? He said do what he says or I will regret it later, I get the chocolate milk anyways, 930 rolls around and I am puking my guts up, and that was just cleaning the ground for 20 dollars on the day. God bless Alabama summers.

My 1st time to work on a built up, I am 16, about to jump in the truck, and dad says, Go put on some blue jeans, and I say, pops its gonna be almost 100 degrees today, I am wearing shorts to work...I still have marks on my legs...stupid mop bucket..

My dad let me learn the hard way my entire life, because I was bullheaded and he just thought it was funny.

Been there!

Ah, the good 'ol day's - sorts out the men from the boys does pitch. Full body armour including a face mask and a banadanna to stop the sweat carrying it into the eyes.....then that ice cold beer on the way home is well deserved.
