Yust in case you wanna watch a Bale Eagle nesting (and hopefully brooding her chicks).

Finally, with assistance, found out why the 1927 Chrysler 58 would not stay in time.

Once we found a fix for that, it ran, and ran rather well, at that. I must have gotten the carb setting pretty close after pulling it apart to clean the sludge out of it. Now I gotta get the tank cleaned out and get the (rather odd) vacuum fuel pump working….

Of course, it needs an exhaust manifold gasket, some hoses and belts, and the intake manifold gasket, but aside from that, “She’s Cherry”.

Gonna take some more work, but this is a BIG milestone.

Updates as they happen.

Reference to the “Cherry” comment: (about 1:29) 

We got our first Tornado today.

Yes, It missed me…. and everyone I know….As far as I can tell from the news, it hurt no one and wasn’t much of a tornado.

But still.

I grew up in this area, and these things can pop up quickly and move at over 70MPH.
I’ve had my experiences with spring tornadoes from the time I was in grade school.  I’m a believer.

Pi day.

Act accordingly.

I’ll be at the dentist

So it would seem that Finland is failing.

I mean, their current society is. They are running out of “Other People’s Money”.

Seems that their Socialist Health Care program that was touted as a great idea….One that we should model our heakthcare system on (The Affordable HealthCare Act, AKA ObamaKare) is gone bust……Broke. Kaput. Bankrupt. 

Broke enough that the entire Government has decided to resign.

Once again, Socialism has failed. They gave up on Universal Basic Income a few months ago because it too didn’t work, despite being touted as a wonderful idea that would bring everyone out of poverty….

I am reliably informed that most European “Socialist Democracies” are not far behind.

Let us not forget that, despite our problems, by nearly any standard, even the “Poor” in the US have a  better standard of living that the middle class in Europe.
But we should, according to the Liberals and the “educated” emulate the Europeans…..

Seems some idiot woman moved past a barrier and come too close to the bars separating her from a Jaguar while taking a selfie….and the Jaguar decided to claw her because ….well, Jaguar,….not a Big Kitty.

She got off with just some claw marks.

Lesson here: These are not domesticated felines. Not tamed. Not just big housecats…..

Oddly, there was a 7 hour Police Standoff in Lincoln Park, Illinois, a neighborhood of Chicago.

A party at a Lincoln Park Airbnb ended in a seven-hour stand-off with police, but the three people involved are not facing any charges Monday morning.

No wonder there is a crime issue in Chicago…7 hour SWAT standoff. No charges were filed. 7 hour standoff, and everyone walked away…

Further, there were several “assault Rifles” recovered and confiscated by the police, as well as 7 handguns….but, again, no charges. And this is Chicago, where such items are all but banned. If not the property of the folks involved in the standoff, then they must be the property of the owner of the home.
Yet, again, no arrests were made.

Odd. 

So what with all the talk of impeachment of Donnie Trump, can we impeach (or recall) the senators from Hawaii?  (or can we, at least, get the folks in Hawaii to do so, since they are their senators)

Their oath is (in part) to ” support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of Hawaii, and that I will faithfully discharge my duties to best of my ability.” .

Seems to me that trying to destroy the Second Amendment of that Constitution (as well as the Hawaiian Constitution [Article 1 section 17] )is in violation of that oath. Pretty blatant violation, actually.
We have a process to amend the US Constitution (as does Hawaii for the State Constitution).
I am all for the United States Constitutional Convention to take place……
Lets open that ball. It’ll be fun and exciting…..

Here’s a list of those that have violated that oath:

The reassembly of my plane…

All inspections passed.

I got most of the inspection panels replaced this afternoon.

Tomorrow, the rest of the panels and the interior. Plus some minor mods and a bit of repair.

Should be that all that is left is waiting on the prop reseal.
