For most of the year I was stuck out in the most remote stretch of farmland you ever saw, when the Summer came around, my folks always sent me to Elgin, IL to spend a few weeks with my cousins… I didn’t even like my cousins that much, I thought they were spoiled brats, however certainly being in a real town for that much time was an annual treat for me, but on the farm our nearest neighbors are 6 miles away, and they are an old, retired couple who lease their land to a farming business… Compared to that, Elgin is a cultural mecca, with people to meet, venues to go, and things to go. Something else I loved about Elgin was that every venue I went seemed to have amazing a/c. On the farm my pal and I had one little tiny AC device in the window of the residing room, however every cabin and contractor in Elgin was well equipped. When I turned 18 I drove to Elgin to have a conversation with my uncle about laboring for him! My uncle ran a small Heating, Ventilation and A/C service business, and but I had no experience I was ready, willing, and eager to learn. Whatever it took to get me off the farm and into my own cabin in Elgin, I was going to do it. My uncle was hesitant at first, but I begged him to supply me a chance. I wound up impressing him and securing a permanent position with the Heating, Ventilation and A/C team, and after that I was able to afford my own cabin in Elgin.
