What happened to the original engine swap plans?

I have never messed w/ the Painless harness, so I can't say from experience. I do know that everything @Coolerman will use factory connectors - good stuff.

The boy is wrapping up Spring Break today as well. If your daughter likes ice cream, the boy works at Edison's Ice Cream in Old Town, they have some tasty stuff!

Getting ready to drop a tank? I feel for you! Start doing your stretches now!

Kel dating nice guy from Jackson Hole who graduated from UW in December and immediately was put to work in his families lumber company.

They spent half the week here on farm playing outside the entire time. Rest of week spent in Jackson hole where hey have been out playing in mountains living the good life.

Logistics of arranging cars for engine swap only fueled my frustration so gonna do it at home. Intend on learning a crapload just need to be home for a weekend where I can work on things.

My son and I going to Chandler, Az Saturday, test fly older Cessna 182 I’m purchasing, prebuy and all its issues have been fixed. Leave Chandler early Sunday morning and fly it back to Tulsa.

I’m super stoked to get to spend sometime flying with my son. He wants to head towards the crater around Winslow, AZ so we will likely stop there. Stop south of Albuquerque then who knows where. Should be fun trip for he and I.

That is definitely the dream!
It seems elusive for me. Every weekend is more unpacking/moving things/decorating w/ the
:princess:

Last weekend quickly went from zero to suck all the dog hair out of the LX and wipe all the nose prints off the glass after a Friday afternoon inquiry. It was like a mad panic of, "We can't let people see we live like this!"

It turned out they have a dog too, go figure!
 
We don’t own anything without dog hair! I’m unapologetic about it since we love our pooches so much.

The 4 runner is our primary pooch transport. Off to Stillwater shortly with pups in tow.

I’ll let Mom know, it will warm her heart!
 
One more dog post and then I will stop.
As seen in a book a friend of mine loves:

Have to give it to Just Dashes, they do some nice work! Not cheap that’s for sure! Just opened up the goods after walking around box for last couple weeks after Kim made me get it out of her office.

Another mudder coming next Saturday to check out Delancy’s old pig body since his had some unfortunate set of events happen to it.

That will help me decide which route I’ll go merging the two Clyde’s into one.

@KSDaddio who unfortunately had rollover incident with “Wilbur” came to farm today.

Super nice guy who was a pleasure to visit with for couple hours as we see if pig body off Delancy’s truck would help him.

I feel like your Pig adventures are soap opera status:

"These are the Days of Our Pig Lives"

Next week - Justine is shocked when she walks into the shop and sees what has happened!

100% correct. Saw someone who may benefit from getting Delancy’s old body so I reached out.

Of course there are other angles that play into it both positive and negative. If he takes the body he will help me remove it. Then half work done to switch new body over the chassis. I’ve gone back and forth between switching engines and axles but then this possibility arose and seems like good idea to help more than just me.

Outside of that I’ve been crazy busy and haven’t been home on weekends much and with recent rains work has piled up on farm.

Now it’s fix sprayer, water new grass with fire tank sprayer for couple hours every night after work. Cut wood and burn some darn big piles when wind lays down some. Someone once said you will kill yourself taking care of 10 acres, I’m a dead man with 240.

I did find gantry crane last week which will be super helpful around here. With new house about to start here Momma not going to approve a lift until house done.

Today has been spent with my son doing some flying to place to eat SW of Kansas City. Good 3 hours flying and a beautiful day to do it.



All of it’s fun and cathartic for me. No way could I cut down on any of it when it is so fun!

So I’ll keep doing little things on the 2 Clyde’s as some doors may open and if they don’t will keep trudging along and play the cards I’ve been dealt.

It’s all good!

Momma needs to understand that you'll have more time for the house with a lift. I'm sure a smart guy like you Jon can finagle the details.

I can do that for you; no problem. Back from France on the 14th. In town more or less after that, other than Santana at Red Rocks around the end of the month.
 
Here you go…try this one
