Thank you Mart, but the progress never seems quite excellent enough for me, particularly this winter. We were swamped with work, the weather was colder and wetter than usual so my unheated woodie space was miserable. I also have 4 kids and two stepkids, all in their 20's and thirties, six grandkids. My wife and I each have a son that lives on the island and the rest like to come 'home' to visit for a weekend now and then. Thus, my 2 hours each evening after my employee or two leaves and before my wife gets home from work are my opportunity to make progress. I'm very fortunate to work here on my place with no time lost in a commute. Well it's 5:45 am on a Saturday, and I think I'll go down and try to finish up that engine and maybe get it onto my run stand.
