Small planes and helicopters have claimed the lives of a lot of musicians and sports figures. The Big Bopper died in what was probably the most famous plane crash, along with Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly. There're still getting airtime 65 years later, though. That's quite the legacy the three of them left behind.
I received an email from Hitchcock's that contained a new fuel management "brain" for the Royal Enfield Himalayans. The one in the photo allows a lot of tuneability and goes for $245.00 US dollars. They also have a non-tunable one for a few bucks cheaper. I'm thinking the pro version would help the rideability of the bike, especially when it's cold. As little as I ride the thing, might not be worth the investment. However, the teaching gig has given me some disposable income that isn't earmarked for anything. It would be nice to ride a bike with it installed for comparison purposes before ordering one, though.
I welded up the pieces for the boat console yesterday. The welding machine and I signed a truce and things are working better now. Actually, I broke down and read the manual. That and the flowmeter doesn't seem to flow the amount of argon that the numbers on the glass tube would indicate. Anyway, things have improved dramatically, but I still need some more work with it before I'll feel really comfortable taking on anything too tricky.
I went to the hardware store yesterday to see if they had the metric bolts I needed to bolt the VW engine to the stand. At $11.00 they weren't cheap, but they had them. Sometimes it's worth it to pay for the convenience, though.
A little more work on the boat console today and maybe fix the chicken bell mount. The stack of mail keeps getting higher, so I'll have to address that soon. Always something.
