    My dad always liked the Olds engines. His boss drove a 57 J-2 convertible until he got drunk and tore the whole side of it off on a bridge. His boss had a real drinking problem and wrecked about every car he ever owned.
    My first hot rod had a 55 324 in it .

    Flipping through the channels on the TV yesterday, I came across the documentary showing how engines are made. Every single operation was automated... even the insertion of the pistons, rods, valves... everything.
    Bummed me right out.
    This video made me feel better... engines built by people. Nerdy people... but people.

    Hey guys. Try this while you're stuck at home wondering what else to eat. Super easy, super good. Hot cook-style chocolate pudding poured over vanilla ice cream. You're welcome. LOL
