Yes! Life has gotten a bit busier since acquiring this wee gem. So, "sometime in the future" is this project's official ETA. (Also: subject to change without notice.)

One of my neighbours has been bugging me to sell it to him. Apparently, the day I bought it he also had his eye on it, but I scooped it up from under him by mere minutes.

It drives him nuts that it's just been parked in my shack and started up once or twice a year since then. I had it out on the driveway one day last summer and it was raining lightly - he yelled at me across the street, "put that thing in the garage out of the rain, you fool!"
