<VV> rite of passage

[mark at noakes.com]

My usually more cerebral of the 5 year old twins had his first 
automotive rite of passage on Saturday when I put things together on 
the 66 engine after the lifter failure.  He insisted on *helping* (that 
means that it takes me longer to do than if I had done it by myself). 
However, after figuring out how it went together by himself, he put the 
muffler hanger back together by himself and tightened the nuts with the 
socket by himself...I did have to show him how to work the ratchet...
and I did do the final torqueing.  The usually more hands on of the 
twins announced that he was going upstairs to spend the afternoon 
learning how to read on their computer.

Went to start it today but the battery was down too far...report after 
charging it up.
