I filled her, burped her a few times, let her run 15 minutes. Not a leak anywhere. Belt is tight, no rattle, nothing fell off.

Chuck's coming home tonight from fishing, going to start building the engine tomorrow, hopefully finish up and drop it in Monday. Then he's leaving again until Thursday night.
I have to have another project besides polishing! ANYTHING but polishing!
