John Thanks for pointing that out. I've been a bit distracted with a back problem since October. Only in the past 3 weeks have I been "back on my feet". Hard to see the humor when the pain pills were daily fare. I'm feeling pretty fit now.. if this summer cold will just let go of me. To be honest, there are stretches where I've missed the board for a few days at a time. Much time has been given over to the engine project and the grand kids. Cold weather will run me back inside sooner than I want and I'll probably put in mor time on the boards. Right now I'm simply having more fun than the law allows. Now.... you might want to cut back on them meds a wee bit.... we aint gonna be showering together.... :lol: Steve |

Nice to see you haven't lost it. Do what I did, get them to slap a patch on, it has got me mobile again and almost as grumpy as I was before. Just take care, and give us a bit of humour in them thare great postings. John |

I promise I haven't abandoned you guys on this project. I've been working my way past a couple of small engineering problems, mostly dealing with lack of room, before I can advance to the next stage. Between designing my own feedwater pump and making it fit the rear shaft and coming up with a usable check valve design that I like, I'm spending more time erasing pencil lines than cutting metal. The feedwater system will probably warrant its own thread before all is said and done. With a bit of luck I might be able to get some fresh photos up this weekend. There have been some small advances but none worthy in and of themselves to earn a post. Patience... its still happening. Steve |

Get a move on Steve, I am waiting in the wings to see how this engine is finally going to look and run. I am sure it is going to be a total stunner. :clap: I am hoping to start on my CNC designed engine this weekend, but will be made manually. You must know the one I am on about. I was hoping you could sing along, as you have the music sheet. But it seems like you are dragging your heels on this one. :lol: John |

John I can name that tune in one note....(grin). I guess you'll be singing solo on that engine, but I'll try to catch up later. I can't sing anyway. Looks like I'm burning a bit more time than I expected to a few days ago. Got to keep the little beggar cool and I'm not going to use a cat food can like the plans called for. I think I beat the pump problem tonight and will be giving it a test fit, possibly tomorrow if family obligations allow it. I managed to snag a nice summer cold a couple of weeks back and it turned out to be rather vicious, having moved into my chest and putting me to taking naps to catch up on lost sleep. I'm sure glad I didn't use all of my quota when I was a child. I've rather enjoyed them of late. I'm well on the mend now but this cough is not cooperating. I'll need to get some time in the shop before next week as I've just learned I've been volunteered to holiday at the beach the first part of next week. Steve |
