My home does not have any trees- the behind the house neighbor does have several oak, maple and pine trees. They are transient Army folks constantly in and out- never the same people.
The owner wont reach back to me.
A storm rolled through and took part of a branch off the tree down, and it didnt break all the way off- so I had to climb up, reach with a pole saw and cut the rest of it down. Otherwise it would come down when I am not home!
I was supposed to have sailed already in the rental Cutter. Maintenance was done on a generator engine and shocking!!! it wasn't done right. Death by a thousand papercuts here on this engine. The engine fuel pumps were not timed correctly, someone switched the wires on the air damper flaps to be closed when they should be open and the fuel choke cable was parting. All things that my crew didn't do- but was done prior to us comeing aboard. Well, the engine oversped and caught the generator section on fire. I heard someone yell SMOKE, and rushed to the engineroom and sure enough- all hands were desperately trying to shut the engine off. I just yelled to shut the fuel valve and when they did- it shut down. The fire continued in the generator section for a few more minutes. Filled my whole ship and engine room with smoke. So long story short, we are staying put until a new generator and engine section are installed tuesday. It will take a few more weeks to have the hull buttoned up and engine in operating status.
In the mean time, we are fixing all the things left to us that were hidden and broken.
I am spending time between rain showers, mosquito infestation and thunderstorms out trying to finish the wiring. I am so close to being done.
Will finish working on my trailer plug here today.
Starting to look pretty dang slick!
I am working on my YT. I have so much video footage from the last month of work on it, that I just keep archiving and not actually sitting here to do it. I hate sitting at a computer.
Working on it right now actually. Hope to put something up tomorrow.
I will keep you all posted. While the ship is broken, I get very little free time.
