I straightened a few of the vanes that had copped a minor whack over the years.
So far, I have been cleaning the parts indoors at night. I don't think I'll try that with the last piece. It's more of a wire brush & turpentine job.

The weather is still dreadfully humid, so I've not attempted anything outdoors.

Also, our boy came home for the weekend, and brought the vehicle he purchased a couple of weeks ago. Wanted something to carry motorcycles and friends.

This is our old labrador, Caramel, looking studious.
You can never have too many labrador photos.

If anyone out there has either or both of the pipes that attach the fluid pump, and you wish to sell them, I would like to hear about it. Even if they're not great condition, I might be able to do something with them.
