I was a mechanic.
I worked.
That's all I did is I worked on trucks.
Yeah.
You grew up.
When did you start working?
I probably started working when I was like...
Eight, ten.
My stepdad was a truck driver.
He owned his own truck.
And I would just... I'd service it, adjust the brakes, grease it weekly.
Like, I'd do the kind of weekly services or monthly services.
You know, so by the time I was, like, fucking ten, I could service a semi truck.
Oh, good.
And then I'd pump gas in a gas station where he worked out of with his truck.
And then I kind of worked my way up until, like...
And I kind of did it all.
And then later I got another job at another shop where I just welded.
Basically what I did is there's a lot of gravel hauling trucks where I grew up.
So like these gravel hauling trucks, like the bed goes up and they're on unstable ground.
