I'll never forget nor forgive myself for the time, as a 17 year old kid, I did a great job in rebuilding my '49 Ford transmission, getting it reinstalled, all buttoned up, and tried to go for a joy ride. I'd gotten the throwout bearing on backwards. My mother admonished me for my blue language that evening at the supper table. Mt father, who never cussed at all, did not raise his eyes from his dinner plate.
