    Bitten by a drill.

    Dang, that had to hurt Josh!Glad it was not worse and that you are now on the mend. I knew of a helicopter logging pilot that ran out of fuel--- the crew got to calling him "Vapor"---are you gonna end up being called "Drill Bit"?:D (sorry I just couldn't resist!:D, Jim)

    Help! What primer can I paint RAPCO over same day?

    GAS M45 Saved From The Scrapper

    Yep!-- The engines in these gassers do have their own distinct exhaust note----smoooooooth does decribe it---VELVET smooth.Other than not being able to burn waste oil or other "free" fuel I think I like the gasser hands down.

    Getting doors properly hung

    I'll throw this out there although it sounds like the O.P. got 'er done----one trick my dad taught me was to use a strip of paper towel shut in the door-- then pulled on to make sure the door is adjusted correctly so the door is tight to the rubber so the wind doesn't whistle.

    Deuce workout

    Yep, always check the dog bone ends after really working(severely overloading:twisted:) the deuce. I learned that lesson the easy way(seems to be a first for me)---I went about 60 miles away to check out an abandoned truck I had spotted earlier. It was far enough off the highway that I...
