The Drum Roll ... Please

My goal was to have an engine start by the end of January.

The fuel injection lines are all hooked up and I checked for leaks. There is now six quarts of oil in the home made oil sump. Spark plugs and wires are installed. There is a propeller on the plane. There is 10 gallons of fresh gas in the plane. All I need to do hook up the wires for the five fuel intectors, and we're ready.

They are predicting, for tomorrow, one of the worst winter storms we've had in years.

Tonight...Snow...sleet and a chance of freezing rain. Snow may be heavy at times. Snow and sleet accumulation of 4 to 6 inches. Ice accumulation of up to one quarter of an inch. Lows in the lower 20s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.

Tuesday...Freezing rain and sleet. Sleet accumulation of 1 to 2 inches. Ice accumulation of up to one quarter of an inch. Highs in the mid 20s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent.

Tuesday Night...Snow likely with possible sleet and freezing rain in the evening...then snow likely after midnight. Snow and sleet accumulation of 2 to 4 inches. Total snow accumulation 7 to 10 inches. Total ice accumulation one quarter to one half inch. Lows around 17. North winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation 80 percent.



Other than that, it's all good.
