Oso
Forest Defecator
…with some new parts. After sitting for a couple years with a cursed engine, the rig is running. Once again, special thanks to the Az Crew for looking out and hooking me up with a replacement engine. The rig is pretty much done except for the overhead pod for gauges and switches. It’s time to drive it. There’s not much left to upgrade.
