[SEL] Blackstone Progress

[Patrick M Livingstone]

Now that I have a donor wreck which gives me almost all the remaining bits
for my Blackstone it is time to get it out of storage.
We had to move a number of engines to get the Blackstone out (including the
big R&V) but Ron's forklift is a big help.
The Blackstone wreck is currently leaning up against the good engine and is
full of smelly de-rusting stuff to attempt to free up the piston. Ron
attempted one hit with the sledge but the piston is very, very solid in the
bore. A few weeks of soaking will help.
