       How's the progress going on this beast Daniel? Any head way?

       Not a lick of progress on it lately Jim. But I'll certainly have
       to be getting back to it before too much longer, as it sits on
       my workbench and takes up entirely too much space! Really can't
       even reload around it!!!
       I had it all apart at one point early on, discovered all of its
       deep dark secrets (read as problems), made some minor but
       needful repairs and adjustments, then reassembled just in time
       to run it a little at the GPU. It needs to be completely
       disassembled again, and some real work done on it, but in point
       of fact it does have issues that will preclude it ever being a
       first class engine, so the motivation is not strong to do too
       much work on it at this point.
       I have been totally occupied with a few other projects, that I
       should probably do some more documentation on and post up here,
       but in fact have found little time for adding that documentation
       project to the other projects list.
       There is really a wealth of things I should be sharing here
       these days, but just can't seem to sit at the computer long
       enough to do that. I'm always astounded by how some of you folks
       manage to put up amazing things on what seems a daily basis. If
       I were trying to do that I'd never get anything else done .....
       and believe me, I'm getting little enough done already, without
       any of the photography, loading and typing to slow me down!  ;c)

       Thanks for the update Daniel appreciated mate. And I know myself
       and can probably speak for all....we love to see what you're
       working on.
       Its a shame the big beast had some serious internal issues, I'm
       sure when you can give it some dedicated time you will overcome
       the majority of them.
       A consolation is that at least its a nice looking engine to look
       at!

       Thanks for the update Daniel.
       We all know it is in good hands.

       Well now I thought that today I would take off from all my
       current projects and just go back a couple of months and do some
       needful catch-up here on the Forum, with posts that I'd left
       dangling .... especially this big Sipp. Promised Jim I'd give
       him a heads up on an idler pulley set-up for his Baker fan, and
       I did that first thing this morning, but that is all I managed
       to get done in that way today. Shortly after getting that done I
       got called out to a new Graffiti site near our community, so I
       hiked out to check on that, and while there a major wind event
       set in so that my remediation experimentation was cut a bit
       short, but wasn't likely to be very successful in any case. Not
       too long after returning home the SCE decided discretion was the
       better part of valor, and shut off the local power grid in what
       is known as a Public Safety Power Shutdown (PSPS) because the
       wind and weather conditions created an extreme fire hazard
       situation, so I was without power, or internet for most of the
       rest of the day. Power came back on just an hour or so ago, and
       what with fixing dinner and resetting clocks, the day got away
       from me without attending to most of what I'd hoped to do.
       My excuse is that Friday the 13th came on a Tuesday this month
       ...... and my Lord and Master Murphy made full use of it!!!
