Wood Stove

Image
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.

The End of Summer?

The Weather seems to have broken into Fall here in Duluth GA. It's a great time of year. We are looking to buy the Cirrus SR22. It already has my initials in the tail number, must be a sign. It would be good to get a plane made in this century. I dont know what species of humming bird this is. I managed to get a snapshot to study it a bit closer. I still dont know.
