Good afternoon all. In for lunch then back out to work and tweak on the boat and pickup. The blackberry bushes haven't cut themselves yet either. No more rain since early this morning. The humidity seems to be out the roof though. Handy dandy backyard weather station says it is only 72%, but I think I would be willing to argue with that.

Evening gang. I worked my tail off today.
Dug four holes in the road in preparation for repaving. Set four cast iron cases in the holes with gravel and 3-5 sacks of concrete... depending in how big the holes ended up. Very carefully set survey markers too. Gave the concrete a nice broom finish so the look real purty.
Now it's time for a shower, at least one stiff drink and some dinner... Maybe not in that order though.

Evening Tiny! Sounds like a full day.....
I got a bunch more done on the lathe today. All that's left is to install the feed screw, the lead screw, gearbox and wire it up!
I can't work on it till sunday though. I've got a crane to fix tomorrow and Saturday. Bummer.....

Redneck engineering triumphs again!
The bailing wire fix worked like a charm, I now have a good firm clutch pedal.
The bailing wire served it's purpose and can fall off for all I care, the slave cylinder locates and properly supports the clutch fork anyway...........All that was needed was to keep it in proper alignment until the motor/clutch was fully seated in the bell-housing.
All that's left is hooking everything else back up, should be running/driving by Sat.
