A grandmother was making several batches of home made biscuits as her grandson watched. Most batches rose to glorious fluffiness, except one batch. The grandson asked, why those didn't rise like the others. The grandmother sweetly replied, "They were getting ready to rise, but they got baked in the squat".

After having done tons of reading, researching, watching YT videos, buying manuals, rebuild kits, specialty tools, various sealants, chemicals, and parts, I realized that the design and vision were MORE than adequately complete, and that I was "BAKED IN THE SQUAT" by fear of the growing scope of this project.

Well, admitting I had a problem was the first step, so I took one of the easier tasks required and tackled it: The fuel modifications to the tank. It's late. More coming. But here is the ceremonial (but real) picture of the first tool on the first bolt on 9/21/24.
