August 7th

When I went to get Tilly an ice-cube at bed time, I found that the fridge is leaking water again.  I pulled it out and turned the water off - I'll play with it some other time.

August 6th

I went to the airport and installed the battery cable, and tested the oil level warning light (works!), then buttoned everything up and made sure it all still works.

I spent some time working on stuff for the EAA, and then I updated the operating handbook for the plane.

August 5th

I got up early and headed to the airport to cook breakfast for the great unwashed.  After that was done, I went and worked on the battery for the plane - I got the mount installed, and cut the battery cables to length (I needed to take them home to crimp the ends on).  I also drilled a hole in the panel for the 2 stroke oil level warning light, but I can't test it without power.  While Ken was there, I got him to help me weigh the plane, and when I got home I figured that it's now a lot better, weight and balance wise.

August 4th

When I was on my bicycle ride, I came around a corner on the trail and found a horse had crapped all over the place.  "I don't want to hit that", I thought, and went around the outside, only to crash in all the tangled grass, sticks and holes over there.  I've scuffed my knee and elbow up a bit, but it's not too awful.

August 2nd

I went over to Lincoln for the EAA board meeting.  Things were discussed.

A new month, so here are the solar stats:

July 31st

I took the day off so I didn't lose it because I have too much holiday accrued.  I was mostly tinkering with stuff in the garage, but I got out on the mountain bike (it doesn't seem any easier to pedal) and got some EAA stuff done.
