In case you haven’t heard, world famous Mike Patey is leading the group that now owns Zeus, with huge plans for the future.

The transformation will take some time, starting with construction of a giant hangar where the revitalization will take place, but the whole process will be fascinating to follow. The results will, no doubt, be epic!

Here is Patey’s recent update on his activities. Zeus is featured around minute 13.

For the last two days, the low temperature was 14° with a wind chill of 2°, along with snow and ice. Today it was 70°. Tomorrow morning’s forecast is for 28° and colder Saturday. Then it suddenly warms back up and rains for a week. I can’t keep up.
