GET IN YOUR HOME BALL ENGINE!
Just before winter we removed the engine out of my friend Robbs 1973 Winnebago. Over the winter he rebuilt the engine and transmission in his heated garage. We are now installing the newly rebuilt engine to get ready for the May long weekend.
When removing the engine we destroyed the engine hoist, the problem comes from the graveled alley. Because of the motor-home height we cant get it in the garage. This means we have to pull the engine in the alley. The engine hoist rolls easy enough without the engine and transmission but after it barely rolls at all. It took hours to tug it up to the garage by hand.
When it came time to put the engine back in we switched strategies. This time we put a quad in behind the motor-home with the winch cable passed up under the chassis to the front. This was then hooked into the engine hoist. This allowed us to tug the engine in, problem is it lacked finesses as the engine and trans weighed more then the quad. Because of this we couldn't just run the winch, we had to back the quad up. None the less we finally got the engine mounts to line up and exhaust attached. End result is a 1973 Winnebago with new found reliability.

This has some really good examples of where I would like to take my home system. The celing based projector that shines on the counter is something that could very easily be done. I have a extra LED projector that would work perfect for this.
All is lost.
Well, a power outage killed off my ESX server today and took with it the hard drive filled with various Linux boxes that included the MySQL database that runs this site. In my infinite wisdom I have neglected to back this site up in the last 3 months and have now lost all posted articles.
I will work over the next few weeks to recreate those pages the best that I can.
Trailer tires shouldnt look like this.
On the way home from camping May long weekend. Its amazing how little this is noticeable while driving the truck. The only indication that i had was the chunks of rubber flying up in the air.
