You deserve a HUGE Thumb's Up and a standing ovation. It's a daily challenge and you made it one more day!
I was approached many years ago by a pro-stock car owner to build an engine for his car. By eighty standards the car made big horsepower. 1,400 HP. He eventually took several national pro-stock champ titles. My head was extremely swollen. Engine technology evolved and eventually the horsepower would reach nearly 3,000 HP. Although I recently paid a hefty settlement in a law suit due to and engine grenading, I'm still proud of my accomplishments.

While visiting my cousin, I was in the 7th grade and my cousin was in the 12th grade, She was trying to solve a math problem. She knew the answer, but didn't know how to get to the answer. She and her boyfriend had their calculators out trying to solve this problem for over an hour. When I asked them to let me see the problem, they told me that I was too young and wouldn't understand. I had to go ask my mother for a piece of paper and pencil ..............to make a long story short, I solved the problem in one to two minutes without an calculator and gave them the paper. Simple two step problem, multiplication and division.

When I was 18 and hospitalized, this man would come around and play games with the patients. When he approached me, I really didn't want to be bothered. He wanted to play the card game Speed. I lied and said I didn't know how to play. I haven't played this game in years. He insisted on teaching me. I let him. As we played the game, he realized that I knew how to play this game. I became his challenge. I won five straight games before I lost. He called himself the Speed Champ and that no body beats him. The doctors had to tell him to go and spend time with other patients because he would come to my room everyday.
