Julie Builds Her Little Engine.
So, after studying the instructions for a week or so, Julie is ready to
put the little engine together. Though it's cold, dark and snowy outside,
the fire keeps Julie's shop is nice and warm and cozy. And with good music
playing, and something to drink, Julie is all set for the afternoon.
Once she found her groove, it didn't take long for my little engineer to
get things underway.
Julie was getting along quite nicely and she didn't need any help, except
for a little assistance with some of the heavier parts. And, maybe a drink
or two.
With parts and tools strewn about the shop floor, Julie was so absorbed in
her project build, and maybe her "drink or two", that she hasn't noticed
her wardrobe malfunction.
Or, maybe she did. With the piston in her hands she thought to herself
and said: "you know, I think this engine is a boy. Just look at his piston!"
Ceej> Well, one could also argue she's a girl. See? she has a "cylinder" that
can accommodate that piston.
"Mmmmm, I still think he's a boy. A BIG boy."
Julie is a natural! She easily set the flywheel in place perfectly..........
.......along with the pully. "Shh, the wine helps." Julie says with a smile.
"See Ceej! I KNEW it?! He IS a boy! Just look at this big set of fly-balls!"
Julie giggles and says: "Ok big boy, give us a cough."
Julie's making great progress. It's really looking like an engine now.
And, I don't think she noticed her DOUBLE wardrobe malfunction.
"Sigh, I heard that Ceej!"
Oh oh, I guess I spoke too soon.
"I think you deliberately put some soap or wax or something on these
snaps when I wasn't looking so they'll keep popping off!"
I thought the better of things and just kept my mouth shut.
So, with the addition of a few parts including the exhaust stack, fuel/air
mixer, and sparkplug........
........along with the fuel tank, some fuel, oil, and water. "And a drink at
her side." Julie adds, The little engine is complete.
Satisfied with a job well done, Julie sits for a bit.
And openly invites you to come and share a drink with her, and have a
look at her little engine!
