Best of Mechanics Corner

About the Book

I remember when we first joined St. Paul’s’ Lutheran Church in Pine Island. The question was asked to each new prospective member; why were you born? To me, the answer was obvious; I was born to fix things. That’s pretty much what I have spent my life doing and in the process, funny things happen from time to time. That’s what this book is, a collection of humorous stories that happened to me over the course of my career and also a number of my early columns that I have written for the Zumbrota News-Record. Enjoy.

About the Author

I have lived my entire life here in South East Minnesota, working various places doing mechanic work and the like. The many different people that I have met or worked with over the years have helped to shape me into the person I am today, which should explain a lot, right there. There are two sayings that I like to remember whenever the need arises. They are; The Lord will provide. and; There’s nothing like a fool who’s had a little success.
