Went out at about 10 and had to clean up a major spill first. Forgot to put a plug back in the old tansmission and it made a bit of a mess. Hung the engine and got the transmission mounted up to the van all the lines hooked up and all ready for joining. Then had to lower to a jack and rehang the engine for mounting to the transmission. Got down to where I was fighting that last 3/8 of an inch and then the "breeze" came up something fierce 44 to 52 mph winds according to the weather. Had to close up the van and protect everything that needed protecting. It is still a major wind storm out there. Tomorrow it is possible rain or snow starting at about noon. Hope to get it done before that hits. ���������������������������������������� jimt Planned insanity is best.
