"Small" Engine Mechanic

[Altissimus]

... only one member here knows him ... but wanted to share. The small engine mechanic at the local Husky dealer (now closed) .... was an actual midget! .... Three foot tall full grown, been to Husquavarna school and all ..... what a sight watching him pull start and run in the high / lows .... funnier yet, his favorite beer .... Bud Tall Boys! ...LOL.... those little fingers were good for Carb rebuilds-

Great mental picture.

His name is Paul ... called "Small Paul" or sometimes "Mister Big"

 

[flushcut]

Sounds like he is the exact opposite of my husky wrench. He is 6'-6'2" something like that and knocking on the door of 90yrs old.

Paul also worked at the ski area... my friends on Ski Patrol where somewhat shocked that I would call him a midget to his face ... I said , relax ... he knows he is small and is quite well adjusted to this fact

 

[Al Smith]

I've seen some short men stand real tall in spite of the fact they didn't cast a very long shadow.

 

[Altissimus]

Yep Al, that is where he got the name "Mister Big"

Dave does this mean he passed??? Sure hope not. He dialed in a dirt bike for me once, every spot on the twist grip was a sweet spot!

... he could make a Husky scream with the power in the high end too ... Mt had him. On snowmobiles, saws, alot of the sanding,and mowing equipment as well as the four wheelers ... had some back surgery and eventually left the ski area

Greene's closed (RIP Joel, killed logging by an accessory tree)

Was that Williams dealership?

 

[Altissimus]

Naw, Joel closed the dealership... saws, sleds, mowers, went back to logging and had accident years later. Expirienced and all ... didn't come home safe, still sucks
