  funny you should say "breeze".  Went out at about 10 and had to clean up a
major spill first.  Forgot to put a plug back in the old tansmission and it
made a bit of a mess.  Hung the engine and got the transmission mounted up
to the van all the lines hooked up and all ready for joining.  Then had to
lower to a jack and rehang the engine for mounting to the transmission.  Got
down to where I was fighting that last 3/8 of an inch and then the "breeze"
came up something fierce  44 to 52 mph winds according to the weather.  Had
to close up the van and protect everything that needed protecting.  It is
still a major wind storm out there. Tomorrow it is possible rain or snow
starting at about noon. Hope to get it done before that hits.
