Hiya
Garage is cleaned up again after yesterday's work. Still hot in there.
273 is tucked away for the time being and the 318 is on the engine stand for the water pump and intake swaps.

We got 70° here this afternoon. When I got up to inspect the lavatory this morning about 03:00 my furnace was in operation with the thermostat set as low as it will go 
Missed a lot the last few days but she looks good and stuff it in the hole and hope for the best.

55° this AM says the NWS. The wind chimes are just barely makin' any music, so I'm OK with it

Is that a throw out bearing on your bench?
hehehe!
Bench is covered with various and sundry parts off of 3 engines and 2 transmissions. Need to get that under control next...
Can't let you get away with that cause I also run an automatic.
Yea throw it out bearing.
Thinking of doing a manuel in mine real soon.
Let me see what I can figure out.
Leaving Saturday morning.....
Not in canada, have to complete a comprehensive course. Imagine if all the drone pilots needed a pilots licence, would ground 99% of them. Speculating but im sure a licence now is $15 to $20,000
I’ve been trying to go to one of Genes workshops since 2018, they’re either full up or when I have Guard or when Covid hit.

That is how it starts my friend, next thing you know ya got three cars in the drive, waiting on engines! It is a black hole. Much worse than a boat!

Don't know much about it Frank but don't think the government is going to let you fly a $30,000 drone around without spending lots of money to do that.
Speculation on my part I really have know idea.
Hey I resemble that remark…
If I recall right, the FAA requires a license for everything about 200 ft AGL.
Fortunately, I don't have the space for more than one at a time... but yeah... it could easily get stupid fast.
And a certain weight. I recall that. I xan only fly mini drones around my property. The larger gps equipped ones wont fly here without a permit. Im less than a mile from airport.
Yeah
Man i am beat.. worked 11 hours, then 5 more hours in the garage.. i will say i HATE painting red in a engine bay.. last bay i did was hemi orange and i did it in the sun and it was awesome.. I hope it's not just me but shooting red it was like once i had some down i couldn't see **** for how it was flowing and such.. it just sort of melts into a giant sea of red. Had some big *** led lights trying to help.. but wish i had sunshine 
anyway.. it's shot.. praying i did it right.
Spent 3 hours sanding the 2k high fill with 400, made it baby smooth.. then wiping it down kept leaving little bits of something all over it (i was using rubbing alcohol and think it was pulling up some primer, jut enough to make it weird..) switched to some 25 year old "Acryli-clean" and it cleaned it right up.. gonna be sad if that gallon ever runs out.
Shot 1 more coat of 2k primer.. then read bout the wait time for color, said i could do it in 30 mins or so when it flashes.. or let it dry the sand it again and shoot color.. No way was i sanding it again.. so i shot it.
Got the gun working 1000x better than it did with the primer.. That being said i miss my old Devilbiss, i don't see the advantage to gravity feed and the gun it insanely tall with the regulator and filter attached.. getting the back of the shock towers was a *****.
I've got some orange peel which is making me mad but will let it dry good for awhile then fix that. Can see it at the front of the apron..
