I loved auto shop, as you mentioned I could pull my 1970 F-100 into the
garage and work on the 360 for an hour! That thing was a beast. I never
really took advantage of the facilities after hours though.

And I also loved typing. Could type 25 words per minute using the home
row method and it has served me well in my life. I used those skills in
the Army where I could listen to Morse and type 22 five letter groups
per minute. Still use that typing skill now.


.... That must be wonderful!  I don't understand it at all.
