Luke likes to work. He doesn't like to be home and he doesn't like to "waste time" as he puts it.. When he has a job he will work until it is done even if it means long hours late at night and hard work. Many nights I have to tell him to come home well after he should be in bed. A typical week consists of him going from school directly to the shop night after night. He spends time every week washing 2 to 3 semis and then other odd jobs. This week the weather had been good and he has started cleaning out horse pens. This is done with the skid loader and much hand shoveling. In addition he is clearing rocks out of the grass. This is a big job and very laborious and hard on the back. He has a tool that spins the rocks and throws them out of the grass. The tool is like a weed eater with a spinner. It is heavy to hold an hard to maneuver. I couldn't handle it for 5 minutes. Luke has been working diligently at the shop clearing the rocks and then will start at our house. It is a big job and has to be done every spring. The rocks are the result of snow getting pushed during the winter snowfalls. The blades always skim off the gravel driveways and it gets pushed into the grass. Some years are worse than others. This is a bad year for rocks. If Luke has any free time, he likes to work on both the dually truck and his daily driver green truck. There are always things to be done.
