My hobby is making small gasoline engines. Recently I completed one of my own design, made from scrap pieces picked up here and there. Made every piece- crankshaft, cam, block, head, pistons- the whole thing. I'm 84, so I work at my own pace and it took about 9 months to complete. Shortly after, a relative came by for s short visit and wanted to see my shop. While showing him around, I flipped the flywheel on my little engine and it cranked and ran to perfection. He leaned over and said "What does it do?" I said "Hell, it runs. Can't you hear it?"
