And weap all over the offside of the engine with lubricant.  Sigh.  That damn lump is coming out this winter and getting its head gasket replaced.

You didn't really have anything else to do this winter, did you?

Oh, that'll take a couple weeks to sort out (remember the thrashing I did on 693R back in the day?)

Figure that's a good time to have the 365 refreshed and do the clutch and rear bearings and bushings.  Just while I'm there, you understand....have to feed the Shipwright demon...

Our driving season is over here in NH, salt has hit the roads.  But like you there is much to do over the winter.  In the spring we should have #142 and #191 meet!
