Now that's a Southern boy,  you mentioned fifth and alcohol in the same post  :lolb: :lolb:. All humor aside Bill,  it's a beauty.  It's very elegant and as you say,  in the realm of engineering,  it's quite intriguing  :NotWorthy:

Thanks Cletus, hope you had an enjoyable 4th of July. Wish you would stop sending the heat this way though :)

I don't know which is worse,  the heat or the humidity.  We call this weather you can wear.  A lot of terrible storms passed thru or near here :facepalm2:. So,  finishing the P&W is next  (almost done) what's next Professor?

Cletus, after the P&W, it's back to the 1903 Wright engine, though I will be doing some work on the little brother casting set too. The Wright engine is a long term project.

Bill,
Absolutely first class in your usual manner :ThumbsUp: :ThumbsUp:

Thanks for sharing your work and hopefully I'll see you with this engine at a Cabin Fever show.

Cheers,
Phil

Many thanks Achim, Dave, and Phil. I do hope to get back to CF before too long.

I don't know sometimes Southwestern Idaho has perfect weather and it is pretty darn nice; right now it is 78 degrees and 21%. Pretty nice weather for July! Just don't ask me about it in January. >:(

Winter probably inverts it, 21 degrees and 78 inches of snow...

I sure hope not; we're lucky to get 3 to 4 inches at a time in the city usually less; I think I shoveled once or twice last winter and it was only a skiff. Single digit temps are not uncommon though.

Over here it varies a lot, lot of small snows, occasional multi foot storm usually off the Great Lakes.
