Well this is totally off topic... My Mom passed away Friday - she tripped and fell and broke her hip a couple weeks ago. Surgery was fine, but she lost her will to live. I was blessed to be by her side for 8 days and now I do all the estate stuff... saddest time in my life... Sorry guys - I just needed to let that out.

So sorry to read about your Mom passing. I've heard stories like this in the past and it hurts everytime & is unimaginable. You can't keep it in, and is fine by me for you to let it out here.
Be strong, God Bless.

Thanks guys - she made it to 94 and had her wits about her right up til a couple days before going to heaven. My Dad passed last year, so a couple downer years here... Maybe 2022 will be a good one...

Sorry to hear this. If you need anything ask and if it's in my power to help I will.
My mom is 93 and having a lot of trouble getting around now and I worry about that call from my sister.

I've been working on this with my neighbor the last few weeks. It will never see the air again (well ok it actually never did as it was setup for an air compressor to air start other turbines) but it will be going in a land "vehicle". More pictures to follow when the project gets to that point.
