Despite your high drive and seeming inability to slow down much, you still seem to be able to find the beauty in the immediacy of the moment, Clint.  I like that about you.

Today I celebrate my 50th trip around the sun. No big shin dig just dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant downtown (there are only 2). Thank you all for your presence here and the beautiful art and tools you all have posted as well as support and prayers.

Happy Birthday Ben. My 50th was fairly calm. Dinner with a beautiful lady and watch a movie at home. (Mid January -30ish that day)
Cheers Leroy

Today I finished an engine swap on my old UTV.  I was nervous about this because I have very limited mechanical skills.  Luckily it went pretty smooth.  I had to swap out some parts to make the replacement engine work.  I labeled every wire, hose, connection, nut, and bolt as I took the old engine out. 




The old engine was burning a lot of oil and fouling up the plugs.  Thew new engine has 2 more h.p.   :o   I'm going to try to rebuild the old engine.




The new engine installed and ready to test.  I wish I could have used the new muffler but it didn't fit.  I had to use the old one.




It fired right up and ran smooth.  I hope this will extend the life of it for a few more years.

Ed, someone gave me one of those old Bayou quads last winter. I got it running and my dad kind of claimed it.

Finished butchering a portion of an elk, and checked on the red dogwood shafts I'm currently working.  :OK
