Very nice to hear you talk about motors! I am fastinated by the thought behind all things mechanical. I mean it-is-an-amazing-science. All these cars we use so well. How could one not want to know what makes them tick?
I heard that the man that invented the automatic transmission shortly thereafter lost his mind. I saw one on a coffee table inside a mechanics waiting area. It was a conversation piece as it had been sectioned away. When I saw the inside of that automatic transmission I thought to myself, "No wonder he cracked! Look at the likes of that!"
Wow, what a concept, inside a concept inside a concept.
And those jets! Oh those jet aircraft! Don't even take us there!

Poetry in the internal combustion process. For 20 plus years I made my living by repairing those beasts. I rebuilt two of my own. The one in my truck is still going strong. When I think of all those parts flying around, I sometimes am amazed that cars ever get anywhere at all. Potato guns also make a hell of a bang!
