REFLECTIONS (signs of senility)

DO NOT READ THIS UNLESS YOU ARE BORED;
 
    Well I knew that it would happen, just did  not think that it would be so 
subtle when it did, and by that I mean when it  come to a time in a mans life 
when he would rather think about what has happened  rather than  the present 
or future.  It all started this morning while  I was having a late breakfast, 
while waiting for the kids to come home for xmas,  I reached over for the 
jelly, and seen that it was to be used as a drinking  glass after empty, this 
started the mind remembering the full sets of drinking  glasses that my 
grandparents used daily, which started me thinking about the  start of my mechanical 
prowlness, I remember changing engines and transmissions  under the old Chinese 
elm behind the old farm house, used a large rope block and  tackle hung in the 
elm, and fastened to grandpa's old john deer tractor  (primitive but got the 
job done), and on the other side of the tree, grandpa had  a dog house where 
his old coon hound had been tied for years, the dog had dug  holes to lay in so 
as to keep cooler in the summer time, I found that by using  two bumper jacks, 
set on top of cement blocks that I could get the front of a  car jacked up 
high enough to get another cement block under the front tires  (safety 
purposes), and if all of this was done strangely over the dog hole, that  I could 
change a transmission, this was an awkward job, as I always had to do  it  by 
myself, I would have to drag the tranny under the car, crawl under  the car, and 
drag the tranny up on my chest, and physically lift the  old cast iron torque 
flites up into position, hold it there with one hand and a  knee, while starting 
bolts and tightening them with the other.
Well enough dribble for now, after reading this you will know  to delete 
Reflections 2 where I will tell you about my performance years with  the use of 
heater blower mtrs. well pipe, and j.c.whitneys $19.95 floor  shifters
                                                                       dodger
