Just thought I would check in, things here have slowed down considerably but are looking better. After having to put the motor back into the shop, loosing the electrical service to my work shop, not to mention week after week of rainy days, I haven't been able to gather the necessary enthusiasm to make any forward progress.
With better weather at hand I was able to trench the 110 feet to my out building and bury a new power line. Should be back up and running by Wednesday. Sounds like an easy task but I have lawn sprinklers so needed to hand dig around the Xfinity line, the irrigation, and the Verizon cable. Not getting any younger but finally done. Hence the light at the end of the tunnel.
Nothing new with the car but hopefully with power comes progress.
Speaking of trains the wife and I took a ride on a steam train out of Wilmington, DE. Click on link to see the steam engine. File is 110 Meg so it might be slow to load depending on your internet speed.

Cheers, Chet...
Keep thinking light at the end of the tunnel in a good way ;) I'm sure we all go through this same phase at one time or another. Keep at it and keep us posted!
