Justin enjoyed wheeling and dealing with people to get parts for his projects or new machines to work on. He spent a lot of time this past winter working on snowmobiles. If he could get a machine to run for more that 5 minutes then it was a keeper. This was known by Justin and his friends as the 5-minute rule.
