Been a busy day today....NOS Volvo radiator and NOS OEM front mudflaps arrived from Yuma this morning...nice stuff!!! Also I am very impressed again by this company in Winsor CT that I've been buying great quality euro parts from....ordered all new radiator hoses (3) 9:00PM Thursday night online...here this morning..... $24 shipped!!

Drained and pulled the drive unit off the boat....took it to the dealer to be pressure tested and resealed...said they would get right on it Monday....told them I needed before next weekend. Want to get out to the island for a couple days before we head off to Scotland....gotta pull the outboard out of the water before we go too.....can't leave that in the water this time of yr unattended....don't need to be worrying about things like that whilst traveling....

Rain tomorrow.....be rolling around under that Volvo most of the day I expect....should be able to wrap that project up by next weekend...

My 1994 Volvo is fine, and the Turbo is doing what it was made for! :D

Hey guys.
I didnt get much cleaning done, but I did melt down my little scraps of lead sheet.
Damn stuff shrinks a lot when it melts...
3/4 of a pot ended up melting down to less than 1/4.....
Did get about 8# though.....
Some of the stuff just wouldnt melt?


Tomorrow will be spent cleaning the shop...
All I cleaned today was the bathroom.....
