Das Boot

You two let me know. I can haul it to Bound's or let it hang here in the scrap pile. I'm not going to Shawnee, I've already been there.

Well, after RF&RA (Rage, Frustration, and Random Action) George was kind enough to buzz up and give me advice and a hand with the driver side axle.
He had nice jeans and a denim shirt and I asked him "where's your sloppies" and he says he doesn't propose to get greasy. I gave him a set of gloves
and he said turn the wheel this way and then move the inner flange up there and over there and sha-chunk and the axle is in the hub. Maybe five
minutes, no more, and he didn't get greasy or dirty. Thanks, George, I can take it from here. Never underestimate experience.
The new radiator is next!

This nine pound hammer - is a little too heavy - for my size.... but it's perfect for taking the bent radiator frame back to the shape it started in.
I appreciate subtlety in all things, but brute force has its place as well. It's a little lumpy here and there, and there's the occasional wrinkle
in the side rail, but the radiator sits in it properly on the pads, the twist is gone out of it, and tomorrow I'll bolt it back in the coach and hook
everything back up. I got sidetracked this evening, the part for the non-functional furnace shpwed up. We are now ready for the cold snap due
tomorrow evening. I have a 240 volt a/c/furnace. 240v scavenge blowers are a bit over $200. 120v scavenge blowers are 39 dollars. The 29.95 500
watt stepdown transformer arrived today from Amazon. It's a condensing furnace, the scavenge blower wheels even hot dipped rust up and fall apart
every few years. If I can find a jobber for Beckett Air I can source a couple of new wheels, and epoxy the daylights out of them and soldier on.
