I have to say, I care about hanging out with the old timers. I believe that more than 2 young people have an attitude about older folks – they say “ok, boomer” plus dismiss everything they have to say! Not me. I love listening to them, there is so much we can learn from the older generations, when we are humble enough to pay attention to them. Most of what I learn from old Gus at work is how the world used to be, so it’s more interesting than helpful! But boy is it interesting! Gus should write a book about his old days as a traveling Heating, Ventilation plus A/C repairman. That’s right, Gus didn’t have a shop or a iphone number, he had a van plus drove around the rural countryside offering to work on peoples furnaces for them. Those were the days where outside of the huge neighborhood there were easily few Heating, Ventilation plus A/C companies, so a huge percentage of people had no access to repair services. Gus would go to farms plus inquire if they had need of any heating services, anything from repairs to providing an legitimately up-to-date system. In the back of his van Gus had piles plus bins full of Heating, Ventilation plus A/C parts plus components, plus also a few small oil furnaces plus cooling units. Back then there wasn’t a lot of call for cooling system work, but he still kept a portable cooling system in the van just in case someone wanted to splurge on a luxury item. He worked for years plus never had his actual Heating, Ventilation plus A/C certification, he was legitimately self taught.
