Ken,I could not have stated it better myself! The only thing I would add is that there must be something in the genes that sparks interest in such activity. Otherwise, one's interest would be elsewhere. As far back as I can remember, I have been fascinated by machinery, be it tractors, cars, trucks, you name it.
