Luckily we travel on our NZ passports so Brexit shouldnt make much difference for the move to France

Watch out for residency and visa requirements in the EU unless you also have an EU passport. Apply early, especially if you plan to work or stay longer than 90 days out of every 180. I was never approved (No intent for long term residency? No visa.) and had to ration my in-country days to avoid being barred. With all the recently displaced people throughout Europe, there is a lot of attention being paid to documentation. 

I definitely get the repetitive "over and back" aspect of ferries but for us occasional passengers, it is quite cool. Glad you are not with P&O (or should I say, not recently formerly with P&O).

  Wasn’t in the office this week…and pics are not allowed at to many places where I work.

  Spent this last week in Virginia and this is the view from my hotel balcony (I did work some at the hotel on laptop so it kinda counts). Chesapeake Bay is what your looking at. One day shot and one night shot.

Little bit ago I delivered to an oceanfront spot in Cape Elizabeth.

Yesterday I dropped off some shingles to a very old local farm which is currently used for horses. Lots of character in the buildings and fences.

Busy day at MDW airport! FMU (fuel management unit) replacement on LH engine. I got to taxi this beauty out to a runup area to do high power engine runs.

Wow, cool job and there's quite a bit going on in a modern cockpit. Never mind all those unimportant lights, dials and switches, is that a simple low tech sun visor wrapped in the red knit? 

How do you do high power engine runs? Simulated take offs or...?

The HUD is under the red knit wrapping. 

 

For this checkout, we only had to go to 85% full power for 2 minutes. Most airports have a designated engine runup pad or even a "hush house." MDW is so boxed and small compared to most other commercial airports, we just use a runway that is not active at the time. And now that most people who live around an airport (that has been there longer than them) complain about airplane noise, there is a curfew for doing these types of activities.

What sort of qualifications does one need to be allowed to taxi and test one of these?

I have an FAA airframe and powerplant license and a completed engine run and taxi course on the aircraft.

Old rail bed for the train that ran to the Hancock/Bar Harbor ferry warf.

Just in the woods to the left is the remains of the old turn table.

Just to the right was a huge hotel sitting on the bluff.

The house the pic is taken from was a store and gas station.

It was also dismantled from where it stood in Bar Harbor. Then transported across on the ferry then assembled where it is now.

 

The far point to the left was a bootleggers hangout.

There is a small building still there that has a pipeline that ran out to a mouring so liquor could be pumped to and fro under the cover of darkness during prohibition.

      Hello fellas. I bought this 211-3 tractor. I have no clue how this mower deck comes off. I need to fix some areas on the deck, as well as replace a clutch cable. I can't seem to find pictures of a complete deck for this model as it should be. Need help.

      I've had some stuff laying around for a while now. I've had some ideas kicking around my head for a while as well.
      Well they met each other a few days ago.
      This is going to be a camp buggy of sorts. 
      Like any of my other builds I would appreciate any input anyone want to donate.
       
      The base is an 1982-88 Yamaha G1 golf cart.

      I started a thread a little while back "Something from Nothing". It has been upgraded to this thread because now I'm building something from something lol. I started with a new frame and strengthened the transaxle mount a bit.

      I've wanted to do this type of project for a while now. So here we go. The name was given by @wallfish. It will be called "The Yeti".  It will be painted and badged in a military theme. The front axle is in progress now.
