Dropping Out.

My Thanksgiving break brought me plenty of opportunities and lots of time to get stuff done.
However, I wasn't as productive as I wanted to be.
Hanging posters in my room? Nah. Working on an essay and making webpages for class? Nope. Catching up on LEGO building and sleep? YES!
Yesterday (my last day of break) I finally got off my ass and did something.

Dropping an engine is pretty self-explanatory (unplug/detach everything), but now that I had my "imported" (eBay UK) Titan manual, I was going to put it to some good use. I need to get used to Brit spellings and wordings. You can definitely tell it is British as soon as you open it.


After detaching everything and scrambling for fallen parts, my dad helped me wiggle the engine out of the frame. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake to handle because it seemed smaller than the CX500's engine, but I was wrong. That engine is HEAVY!


We lugged it downstairs to the basement where it is currently sitting on the workbench waiting for me to return for Christmas.


I've got three weeks or so to work on it next month, then a few random weekends off and Spring break next semester. Hopefully I can get a lot done before May! I really want to enjoy it (ride the hell out of it!) for awhile before I sell it.
