Selling the Private Lee has been way more time consuming than thought. I'm still finding parts.

I'm sending off a couple of test valves to be coated, I sure hope it will extend the service life of stuff.

When we get the block touch honed we’ll have new set of pistons just in case the piston to wall gets a little to much. I’m sure glad we got parts when they were available.

We made some progress this weekend by speaking with people that are willing to help us get better.

How difficult could it be to get the good air in, the bad air out, and in between add fuel and light the fire?

Maybe some day we'll all learn that trick!

Another bump in the road for Dumbo. I’m trying to get our new, to us, trailer ready to go to the Columbus.
