Wood Stove

I rebuilt a wood stove I had in storage. The only textual items on the stove is "Made in West Germany". After puzzling about how to repair the broken leg (everything from welding with tungston rod to fabricating a splice), I found a similar replacement foot. It was similar, so I ended up buying two in order to make it look and set right. It was a fun "little" project. It cost me about $150 in materials and probably took me about 8 hours. I am looking forward to getting it fired up at some point. Since it is going back into storage I am wrapping it up with as much rust inhibitor as I can. I bought some VCI paper for the effort.

Today we are going horseback riding. Yesterday, Bonnie got her first ride in a small plane. The most interesting aspects of her first ride in a small plane were that it was a Cessna 206 Seaplane, I was in the left seat flying it, and it was pretty bumpy. It was fantastic fun. We both had a great time.

Today we went up in the seaplane in the background. It is a 1956 beaver with a 450 HP 9 cylinder radial engine. It was a bunch of fun.
