It Moved
It moved under its own power for the first time tonight in almost 4 years!!! Granted it was only 10 feet in reverse and 10 feet back into the shop, but it moved. YEEEEE HAAAAAA!!!!!! This calls for celebration

Re: It Moved
Congrats Mike! I never did figure out why you go by Yank.
 I need to get up there and check out your set up.
