Default Re: The Next Generation

My friend Harold was a certified master mechanic who graduated from technical high school where he and his friend Marty won the Chrysler trouble shooting contest in New England. Harold ran a AA/Fuel dragster and held #16 NHRA top fuel license. He told the story about being in tech school one Monday morning when everyone was asking where Joe, a classmate was. Well over the weekend Joe jacked up a Studebaker with bumper jacks to remove the transmission. He never came back alive. Harold was very particular about how a car was supported before he would work under it, for good reason.

I've got one grandson right now, he's seven months old and I'm starting him off right, I think! Here he is at three months.
