  Since i had to check my foot oil drain/fill gaskets i figured why not remount my outdrive.
  
  My spare 5 psi 12v pump finally died on me, wouldn't prime so i had to hand pump 2 qts of foot oil.

  @aero3113 I thought of you last week.  I rode shotgun in my friend's Citation CJ3+ and he let me fly on manual for a few minutes.  Very, very cool.  
  
  No analog in that thing.

  Awesome @LaRea , the CJ3+ is a great aircraft. I used to manage one and a CJ4 about 10 years ago. Pretty cool that it’s certified for single pilot also.

  I pulled off my props to clean up the shafts and get them ready for my new Hill 4x4’s. The shafts remind me of a R-1340 radial engine prop shaft. Works of art!

  Ive got the new drawer made.  The top piece of flashing needs secured.  This vanished pretty piece of wood was from an old 70s model carver i parted out, it will be cut down to fit the outside of the drawer then i will try to match up trim around the outside perimeter of the opening to match the drawer.
  
  I took pretty much all the cabinetry out of that carver,  beautiful wood in that old boat.
  
  Once this cabinet and trim work is finished im making a new table, my pedastool should be in by Friday.  Once it's mounted the new carpet goes down.  No sensee in laying new carpet until im done drilling, cutting and working.  
  
  Im sure you guys can see the new cabin floor has been epoxied down. I reused the fiberglass skin but all new 3/4 inch wood core.

  I guess I'm just going to replace both my BILGE pumps with the built in flat switch and call it a day- yesterday both were popping their circuits.

  Ahhhhh I miss the wonderful modern cockpits of the corporate aircraft. Not that the Airbus isn’t automated, but it’s still 80s technology. I sure do love my schedule though!

  I always wanted to learn how to fly...fly cargo all through the Bahamas would have been the goal...probably not much money in it..

  Profit margins would depend 100% on the cargo flying into, out of and around the Bahamas.  Supposedly one could make enough money to buy Miami but you'd probably just pi$$ it away!
  
  Growing up my dad had a high paying job at GE as a gas turbine maintenance tech.  Hed be gone for months at a time traveling all over the globe/country.  He pretty much lived to work.  
  
  As much as I'd love to make what he made i enjoy my 8 to 5 job and every weekend/evening with my kid.  No over time, no weekends, no travel.

  @rasbury , if you were flying cargo in the Bahamas you would most likely be flying a DC-3 .

  That was where the refrigerator was mounted.  
  
  It now has a drawer and toaster oven/air fryer

  There's a good chance pizzas will be cooked inside this!  I mostly wanted it for my morning bagels or English muffins.

  Im not a huge fan of microwaves.  Fries and buffalo wings reheated in the microwave sucks.
