Not a lick of progress on it lately Jim. But I'll certainly have to be getting back to it before too much longer, as it sits on my workbench and takes up entirely too much space! Really can't even reload around it!!!

I had it all apart at one point early on, discovered all of its deep dark secrets (read as problems), made some minor but needful repairs and adjustments, then reassembled just in time to run it a little at the GPU. It needs to be completely disassembled again, and some real work done on it, but in point of fact it does have issues that will preclude it ever being a first class engine, so the motivation is not strong to do too much work on it at this point.

I have been totally occupied with a few other projects, that I should probably do some more documentation on and post up here, but in fact have found little time for adding that documentation project to the other projects list.

There is really a wealth of things I should be sharing here these days, but just can't seem to sit at the computer long enough to do that. I'm always astounded by how some of you folks manage to put up amazing things on what seems a daily basis. If I were trying to do that I'd never get anything else done ..... and believe me, I'm getting little enough done already, without any of the photography, loading and typing to slow me down!  ;c)
