After I left home, Dad started his on parts store and became quite a financial success. Somewhere about my 18th year, he really got some smarts. Later in life, I needed a hobby and bought a 1954 Ford pickup. I started doing body work, building engines, restoring Mustangs and even bought a wrecking yard so I would have a play pen. My point is, I knew nothing until I jumped in and tore my first 289 down and rebuilt it. If you want to, just get after it.
NOW that's what I'm talking about Jim. My mom will tell you when I was growing up, they would buy me something and I would take the whole thing apart just to see if it would work after I put it back together. And sure enough, it did. I rather do it myself than pay someone to do it.

My Dad was like that. He could take anything apart and fix it. We often accused him of taking things apart just to see how they worked.

Sounds just like me. But, sometime after I got it back together, it worked fine, but I couldn't figure out where the 3 bolts I had left over went. (tossed them in the trash)

GOOD Morning Slackers.

Morning Dave. I just finished looking at the weather radar, looks like Pam is sending the rain to you. Doesn't look like we going to get much after all. Thanks Pam.

She may be sending rain but it will be snow by the time it gets here. They are calling for 1-4 inches tomorrow.
