Default How It's Made

I was going to give a head’s up about an episode with Harley motors, but I just realized that the rerun of it ran last night. I was searching the next two weeks on my Direct TV DVR and it doesn’t show a repeat showing anytime soon.

I happened to get it last night and am fixing to watch… should be good.

My wife and I watch the "How it's made" show. Sometimes it's pretty interesting. Surprises how many things are still partially hand made.

The spark plug episode the other night was pretty interesting. Being a discovery, tlc, learning and history channel geek keeps you busy when the weather sucks...LOL. Anyway has anyone seen ultimate factories? They have done Harley, Corvette, Abrams Tanks, Peterbuilt, Ferrari...

I'm a Discovery Channel geek myself. I missed the motor episode, I'll have to keep an eye out of it.

Yeah, I like Ultimate Factories too. I recorded the Harley episode, but it’s mostly on the V-Rod if my memory serves me.
