Yes, the trip was interesting. I try to plan for emergencies but sometimes emergencies happen in areas not planned for. The saga continues at home. I use my 97 Jeep to pick up my large dog at the kennel. Too wet and cold to use the truck. Well before I left for Florida I found my old battery was causing problems. Yesterday I purchased a replacement battery. Today I tried to start it and the problem was not really the battery, although it needed replacement 4 years old not holding a good charge. The problem today is that the starter is weak and cannot turn the engine over. New starter on the horizon. Last 2 months I’ve had nothing but equipment failures. Lot of money spent on tires, batteries, belts, and fuel pump. Going broke fast. LOL.

Just to keep on track with my airplane build, I did a little bit of sanding. May start covering tail feathers in the house at night. If I go into November it will be over a year build time.
