    Climbs like a homesick angel

    If brains was dynamite, you wouldn't have enough to blow your nose. And it's cold enough here tonight to freeze the balls off a brass monkey. (There's supposed to be a British Naval derivation behind that one)

    Controller shortage and the Govt Shutdown

    Nothing is over until Trump says it's over, LOL. Merely a time out, it will be back after a couple hundred commercial (political) messages from both sides.

    If it has an oil separator, I believe they have a tendency to hold moisture in the crankcase, along with the recycled oil?

    A nifty project

    I used to collect/repair old jukeboxes, from tube 78's up into the CD era... on the tube machines when I went buying, the first question I would ask was "Have you plugged it in?" and if the answer was yes, my offer went down by half. When the caps go bad, the final tube current runs away, and...

    It it all worth it?

    Sorry for your loss, and sorry your're going through that. Gotta be hard. One old friend I used to ride motorcycles with on road trips frequently went down on a rain slick road when he, my brother, and my brother's wife ran across a herd of deer in the road. The paramedics and life flight saved...

    Is there even the slightest possiblity (Aircraft Electrical question)

    Got a voltmeter in the panel anywhere? Could be the battery is dropping badly during the start and it takes a while for the charging system to bring the voltage back up. Bad connections, especially poor grounds can cause similar symptoms.

    Technical stops

    Yes, the US government, or shadow government, has always hated competition, one of the reasons Mexico and most of the other South American countries are still poor and riddled with corruption and crime. The cartels and some independents like to bootleg some product in through alternate channels...

    You're missing the point, drug traffic FROM Mexico is the root cause. Your minor inconvenience is the response.

    [NA]household breakers[NA]

    Right, the standard outlets are only rated for 15A max. The 20A plugs have the left blade sideways. Common for RV cords.

    [NA]household breakers[NA]

    Long lightweight X-cord, bad connections on both ends, lots of resistance, so much voltage drop everywhere the blow dryers couldn't pull enough current to trip the breaker. All going to heat. Perfect fire starter. Saw the same exact thing except with three phase and 200 amp cartridge fuses that...

    Painting and insulating the new hangar

    TSP for the floor.. follow all instructions and safety advice to the letter. Will look like new probably. Then topcoat. You can use foam panel insulation or the blankets like for pole barns or foam insulated wall panels. Google will get you started.

    CPAP denial under BasicMed?

    Depends on what state you're in. Some are hell on sleep apnea. The DOT is harsher on high blood pressure than the FAA, go figure.
