More snow!
by brian @ 00:07:11 - [perma-link]It snowed pretty much all day today. The ground was covered when I
woke up. I took Flash for a walk, then Josh and I found a big parking
lot and did some donuts in my Vanagon (video on my Youtube channel).
It snowed so much that by the time we got
back, our footprints outside my house were no longer visible.

Playing in the ice and snow
by brian @ 13:04:57 - [perma-link]I walked Flash up to the schoolyard a few blocks away. The snow now
has about a 1/2" layer of ice on top. It breaks right away when I
step on it, but Flash can walk across the top if he's careful, but if
he tries to go too fast, he breaks through and has to plow through a
bit. While he was playing fetch, I broke some big pieces of the surface ice
and stood them up in the snow. The thin ice is really fragile, so
some of the bigger pieces fell over or broke when I tried to place
them. Most broke when I tried to pick them up, so this is all I ended
up with.

Yoinked!
by brian @ 21:20:08 - [perma-link]I finally got the motor out of the Syncro today. I had disconnected
all (well most) of the hoses and wires a few days ago. On Saturday I
did a little more work, but I quickly grew tired of the rain.
Yesterday it snowed. Today there was still snow on the ground, and it
was maybe 25F outside, so I bundled up and got to it. Looks like tomorrow will be sunny and 30 degrees, so maybe I'll get
the other motor out of the blue vanagon and see if I can shove it back
into the syncro. It would be really nice to have 4wd in this
weather. There may be more snow later in the week. I think I may need another set of jack stands (though getting to a
store to get them may be a challenge on the icy roads); I used the
motor as the jacking point, so with it not there, I don't think I can
get the stands out from under the syncro. I think I'll have to air
down the front tires to get a little more clearance to install the
motor. I'll put some boards under the jack when i lift the blue one.

Senate seat. Sarah Palin will be speaking in a little while. Should
be interesting.

FX-16s out the Wazoo!
by brian @ 16:33:58 - [perma-link]Yesterday Josh and I pulled the motor out of the latest FX-16 (the
black one on the far end). In order to get the dead black one into
the garage, we had to move all three around, so I figured we may as
well park them in the neighbor's driveway and get a picture of the
fleet. After that, we used the crashed black one (center) to push the new one
into the garage. Pulling the motor took a while, but we plodded
through it, eventually dropping it down on a motorcycle jack and then
pulling it off to the side. This morning we dropped the empty shell
at a shop to get a roll cage. Its all moving along.
