November 8th

Oh, the days, they grow short.

After playing Warcraft for a little while (I'm just doing a couple of profession things most days, as I've run out of meaningful stuff to do for the moment), I cut the grass, then went to the airfield.  I discovered (again) that one of the exhaust gas temperature probes isn't reading properly, so I need to look into that - I had thought that the probe wasn't reading, but I'm now wondering if it might just be unplugged in the wing root.  Anyway, I went and flew about for a while, and saw turkey vultures just hanging out at around 800', and a couple of ultralight type aircraft over by Freedom Field - a Hurricane looking thing and a Kitten looking thing.

November 5th

I rode over to Lincoln for the EAA board meeting.  Much was discussed, and things are afoot :o)

November 3rd

I got up stupidly early to go in to the office so I could give Dave some Cadbury's chocolate, say "so long" to Don, who's leaving, and let Dave play with my Dremel clone Black and Decker RTX.  He liked it so much he's ordered one.

November 2nd

Having been dug out of bed an hour early by Tillamook, I went around and updated all the clocks.  Hopefully she'll look at those come supper time.

I took Vic's laptop apart (with Vic's help, after we'd thrown some choice language at it).  The cooling fan shrieks, and I'm not expecting it to last much longer.  She's had it shut down once due to overheating, so I just wanted to see if there was anything obviously wrong.  Cleaning it has helped a little, but I've ordered a new fan (rather than a new laptop right now).

A new month, so here are the solar stats...

Richard was having a barbecue at the airfield, so we went over for that.  Vic got to go for a ride in the RV-6A - I should have got the Flightstar out and offered rides, but I didn't realise that was a thing we were doing :o)

October 31st

It rained, and by rained, I mean threw it down.  Drought officially solved :o)

October 30th

I managed to get out on my mountain bike at lunchtime, and hit a dead tree branch hard enough to dislodge the magnet for the speedo.  I didn't notice until I was almost home, so there's a few miles I haven't got credit for - I'm lucky it didn't fall off :o)
