Your engine sounds really good. I bet you can't get that sound out of your head, better than a song stuck in your head though! I am glad we didn't have to see your fire fighting skills.Rolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20LaughingCongrats on the lift off!

That was way cool Dennis. Always good to hear a fresh engine howl.

Even better knowing that it is one of my friends enjoying some self gratification.

Keep it up your off and running now!

It is a good feeling the first time one finally fires after having worked on it for so long. Congrats on getting it running. Keep plugging away and you will be cruising in no time.

Way to go, man!  I know the feeling of a fresh one firing off, but I didn't have near the wait you did.

Hope you engine is ticking along well too!
