Want to add my hearty "welcome" to the group. You'll find that this site offers a whole lot of info and the "Stovebolters" are good people.
Sounds like we walked about the same path when it comes to kids and cars. Lord help us, when they take the shops out of the schools and start replacing wrenches with computers.
And about talking too much.....teaching is the purest form of communication and talking cars is, and has been, the key to unlocking young minds.
So Don, keep talking, keep the shop open, and welcome to this site.
