After building a crane attachment for Jon's tractor, which kept us going until midnight on Friday, we pulled the engine on Saturday 11/14/09, completing the job just in time for the first snow flakes. That's Jon on deck. I'm the silly one under the engine.

At rest on Jon Dory's farm, about 2 miles from our house. We can't thank John and Lisa enough for hosting the Queen.
