I was surprisingly nervous when it came to removing the sill covers. Images of X-Type Jags with nothing behind the plastic covers flashed into my mind, but luckily everything was solid here.

In the 1960's the AeroJet company was considered as the possible supplier of solid-fuel rocket motors to be used as primary power plants for the Saturn I space booster. The idea, in simple terms, was to use a single, very large rocket motor in place of a number of smaller rocket motors.
The AJ260 was the largest rocket motor ever produced and during it’s testing, created the highest decibel noise level ever created by man. Its blast could be seen easily, 50 miles away in Miami. Despite it’s great power and sprawling manufacturing complex, the project was dropped by NASA.
All that remains are the ruins of the manufacturing facility, and of course, the rocket, which still sits in its firing tube in the middle of a swamp where it has been waiting for 50 years. The swamp has begun to reclaim this giant complex which stretches across five miles of desolate swamp.
The main complex of huge buildings, a great find itself, is not the highlight of this location. No, the highlight is a smaller metal shack about four miles further into the swamp. Half the roof is missing and a small group of turkey vultures have made the place their home. If you walked through the building you may not even notice it was there, but underneath your feet, below a rusted metal floor is a rocket.

I APPRECIATE AWARDS, BUT I PREFER COMMENTS - OR ATLEAST COMMENTS WITH AWARDS.
But you can chase it away if you can heat the steel till it/s red/
I'll wash it in acid next then I have a flange to weld in the center so it will take a 3/4 pipe thread and for a base for a revolve away bedside table with tilt action and counter balanced like a tower crane.
I wish I remembered enough Calculus to locate the monentsas they change according to the load and the pivoting mount. I was thinking I'd need to attach it to the table top in the lower left conder but if I can add a simple way to raise and lower the elevation I can locate it along the axis and take a vector out of the equation.
This is a rotor from my truck I had to finally do a set of brakes after driving it for more than a dozen years and putting 220k miles on top of the 80k it had when I got it.
You have to start it with a wrech but from the drivers seat not under the hood the wipers work unless it's raining and I took a short cut through the lot next door and cracked a tranny line.
I ned to suck it up and fix the truck because my neighbor who has his boat tied to my dock for the past 5 years wants me to come and get the trailer and all so he can sign it over to me legal. I did some work for him on his dock using the boat a while back then asked if I could use it again to build a neighbor a super deluxe built in seats covered area non moving and well supported redundently and stylin doc.
It's a pontoon boat and I'm going to remove the seats and install a tower crane for shooting piers down plus a jacking system at all corners to raise the boat from the lake bed enough to turn it into a non moving platform big enough to hold mt pumps and jet lines I use to drilll a hole in the lake bed amd sink the piers down until it hits the hardpan about 8 feet below the sand.
