While this will not replace Rachel’s wonderful updates, she thought it would be a good idea to add some new substance to the website. This corner will consist of nothing more than thoughts into some light-hearted conversations that go on behind the scenes known as Radial Rants.

Last week while cleaning up the basement, I came across some aircraft spark plugs (52) that I decided to sell on Ebay. These were new old-stock of sizes I do not use. Surprisingly they brought more than I was expecting, and in the process I found 80 more new ones in old military boxes. Then I started to think, how many spark plugs do we have?  After wasting a few hours (that I’ll never get back) here is a list of spark plugs we have or use:
Basement- 80
Truck -8
Rachel’s car-6
Snow blower- 1
Weedeater- 1
Lawnmower-2

Now let’s move to the hangar:
On the shelf spares-40
Army Stearman- 14
Red Baron Stearman-18
SNJ-5- 18
Fourwheeler- 2
Old Maytag washer engine- 2
Stinson- 12
Spare engines for Stinson 12
Gas powered blender (mmm margarita’s on the go)-1
Chainsaw- 1
Two lamps made from a W670 engine- 4
We are the proud owners of 222 spark plugs. So what does this mean? After writing this and thinking about this originally, I won’t get back 2.5 hours of my life.
