as does the kitchen, and all forteen other projects I have going on.

I’m damned if I know where the time is going to come from.

You got to have wings to stay on top. I have been trying to prep for new kitchen cabinets for a couple of weeks, I have a bit of drywall patching and some sanding left to do, then some paint. When the cabinets arrive it will be asses and elbows for a while so I’m trying to get some other issues resolved.

Like the Cushman. It has been apart now since the first decent weather and I am anxious to get it back together as there will be a lot of work it needs to do come summer. I have yanked the jugs so I could have new inserts put in the spark plugs, and I had it done professionally instead of the hack job it previously contained. So I have it this far together.

It’s a wierd little engine, like a half a Volkswagon engine, but it generates 22 hp and weighs very little. I’ve always been surprised the ultralight people haven’t picked these up and hotrodded them, but I guess it’s easier to buy a rotax. I just put the jugs on this evening; it’s actually pretty simple. You hold the engine down with one hand and with the other hand you slide the cylinder on. I don’t have a motorcycle type ring compressor so you have to use your other hand to push the rings in with a screwdriver while your other hand slides the piston in, being careful not to get any of your hands (It seems to take five) in the cylinder flange sealant. I always like to find a place where I can use good old Permatex Two, and this is perfect.

Anyway, once it’s back in the Cushman it should do ok because it will have compression and fewer bits of squirrels in the cooling fins.

Update: They have! How cool is this little sucker!

Look: A Micro SD card you can get at Walmart for $5 can hold the 3d solid model of an AR, the plans for building an AK, the printable 3d pistol, the Constitution, the whole of the Foxfire books. It can be slipped into the spine of a book, snailmailed, implanted under the skin by the non squeamish, glued to the back of a dime, passed from person to person in a kiss and kept under the tongue.

You can’t stop the signal if you start it. That information is as valuable as your stash of guns, ammo, and MRE’s, do you have it safely stored?
