Sledding

 

 I did a bit of "fingering" yesterday and came up with the sled plan for Coach Jen. I'm making this thing from scrap material I came up with, so that dictated the design to a large extent. The good thing is, other than the pipe, I won't have to buy any material. 

I got the prybar out yesterday to lift up the VW motor to bolt it onto the stand only to find out the bolt pattern isn't correct. I had another VW motor once upon a time and I remember having it on the stand, but apparently, not all VW motors have the same bolt pattern on the bell housing. I checked the mount against the trans and it wouldn't bolt up there either. However, the trans and the motor appear to be the same. I don't know much about VWs as far as what fits with what, but right now all I want to do is get the motor on the stand and move on. I'm going to try and get that taken care of today, finally.

I'm going to the gym this morning to see about a job for Jimmy. He had talked to me a while back about cutting down a boxing ring. I want to see if that's still the case and get it in the pipeline if it is. Depending on the weather, stop at the park on the way home and do a little walking. Two weeks until the 5K.
