Well, a little change in plans. Went out to shine up the '65 Vette and found a puddle of oil. Just had it out for a romp Sunday and all vitals including pressure looked fine. Instead of being at the show I'll be trying to find the cause. 😞

I'm working on it as I build. Right now I just have a few boxes of parts.

This is the roaster I am using as a guide. Instead of conduit I'm using stainless steel pipe sections and controlling the fan with an election control instead of a variable transformer.

Hopefully as simple as a loose oil drain plug / oil filter or a valve cover gasket replacement. πŸ™

Mighty putty plug combined with a little Flex Tape for insurance. Good to go

Attended a continuing legal education seminar today on Data Event Recorders (a.k.a. DER or "black box") analysis.

The engineer telling us about "black boxes" lasted over an hour and was sooooo boring. He just, talked and talked and talked. It seemed like for hours. He's a mechanical engineer, which basically says it all why he is so passionate.

Rest of the seminar was great. Now, my pseudo-expertise in the matters is renewed.

Who here has to put up with continuing education credits in their field?

Not since my wife retired. She had a certification from the Intravenous Nurses Association that had us traveling around the country for her continuing education. To pass the certification test she watched hour after hour, after hour after hour of the mot boring and dry lectures on sticking needles and PIC lines in everything from babies to the near dead. It would have been better to have just a recording, the entire film was just a woman speaking, nothing else.

I just accompanied her as a trophy husband.

I have to take Tests evey year for each of my certifications to keep them from expiring.. Usually have to read a few chapters and the newest release notes and then take the test. Not to bad considering the wife has to do hours and hours of ceus for her physical therapy license.
