I think of Grandpa whenever I fix the air filter in my house.
Back when I was growing up as a little boy, I used to help my grandpa fix things around the house all the time.
He was definitely a handy toned guy. He used to fix everything around the house and he liked teaching me how to do it, too. He always told me that a real man knew how to fix things and I believed him. I still think that he was right. These days, now that I have a house of my own, I am still really glad that my grandpa used to show me how to fix things. I am one of the only guys I know who knows how to fix things like the plumbing problems and electrical problems that I run into at my house on a regular basis. I also know how to fix the heating and cooling system because my grandpa used to bring me along whenever he was working on an HVAC system anywhere. He used to work on the one at our house and the ones of all of my aunts’ and uncles’ homes, too. I used to have a really good time going out with him and carrying his toolbox for him and handing him tools. Now, all of that training from when I was little is very helpful because I know how to fix most of the problems that I have with the HVAC system at my own house. Whenever I check the air filter in my house or do anything that has to do with the thermostat, furnace, or air conditioner, I always think of my grandpa.
