[SEL] other hobbies

[Mike Royster]

Good work there Tom!  Lets see, other than engines and keeping my evil 
brother out of trouble, I also am a Ford Model T guy, work on Brunner air 
compressors, and collect gasoline related items.  Plus dozens of other 
things that keep me from finishing many things.

Work really gets in the way.....
