Spent the last few days in Pensacola Beach Fla. watching high school basketball, the granddaughter’s of course. Different skill levels top to bottom but everyone wants to win and everybody dives for the ball and hussels. It’s fun to watch.

12/31/23 starts the 2024 racing season. A lot of work to do before the Gators.

The lathe is finished. Microscope is doing its job. New vee blocks and UK is playing well. All is going in the best direction.

You can look at it this way Larry. We are all tied for first in the World, and Division points race. LOL

Spent a lot of the day working on tooling to make a few valve train parts. As the old machinist often say “big holes big problems, little holes bigger problems. I’ve made some stuff that almost works, but it’s not like it needs to be. It’s not as bad as the fixture we made to drill a .031 hole in a .021 ring land without hitting the ring land.
We will get’er done.

Tail stock off by . 040” shame on me for not checking it in the beginning. As it stands no harm no foul.

Larry works as hard as anyone in the game.

Using a microscope and a drill index I can figure out what is the size of some of the small radius. If my modification to the parts cause them to break, I at least observed the radius.
