Yesterday was the final touches before the new engine gets put into Kokomo. After making all the cuts and doing all the grinding it was time to patch it all up with some fiberglass work. As a kid age 14, I had a hydroplane as a boat and each year before I could put it in the water I had to do some fiberglass work on it. Everything I have done in the past 10 days I learned in wood shop, metal shop or from my Dad growing up. No amount of advanced calculus would help me here. Where does advanced calculus help anyhow? To bad all the good classes in school have been cut, because of funding most kids would benefit from a few lessons in the trades. Back to the boat, tomorrow we will set the new engine in the boat, we spend the next two weeks waiting for parts and setting things up. All is going as planned so far.

Life is good on Kokomo!
