Finally  getting to the  Acadian. Life gets in the way. Now I have to get used to posting. I'm not so good at this.

 4 years ago when I retired I actually wanted to work on other guys old projects, and I did a bit of that, which was fun. Now I'm saying no to almost all the requests except for the odd small jobs. I still do cruise controls and hope to do more of those, they are so much fun.

I was looking at your oil drain tank you made too, it looks like you're having fun! And distracted is ok, it's your time. You can spend it however you want.

The real power of being retired is the ability to set your own agenda.(unless you're married of course.)

Started to fit panels.  Have my body man friend  on speed dial. Lots of questions on how not to screw up. 

Also  building some shackle  extensions. We'll see how this works  .might be  smart or not .they are going to be removable if it is a failure
