Having waited all damn week for the new regulator for the plane to show up, it didn't.  I've been watching the tracking, and it seems to stop for a day every chance it gets, but it was always supposed to arrive today.  When they said it was going to arrive by 20:00, I gave up on installing it this evening, and figured I could do it in the morning - it's just 2 bolts and a connector, after all.

We watched "Ford v Ferrari."

June 22nd

I met Randy at the airport and we replaced one of his float bowls - the safety wire hole had broken, and he doesn't like safety wiring to something else :o)

Chris invited me to fly with him in the RV-6A to Willows for lunch, so I met him at Lincoln and we flew over there.

After lunch, we flew back, and got to say "hi" on the radio to Paul Hollingsworth on his way to Truckee.

Jamie was pushing her new gyroplane back up the taxiway, so we went and pushed it back to the hangar, then tried to start it and diagnosed a flat battery.  I also explained that if you interrupt the shutdown of her EFIS, it'll stay on, and that's why she was freaking out about the EFIS not shutting down.  We plugged her battery into a tender, but with the AGM battery at 10.5v, I'm not promising it'll come back.

John was out putting miles on his new Harley, so he stopped at Lincoln for water and an ice cream, then followed me home to say "hi" to Vic before heading home again.

In the evening we watched "Bloodshot."

I pottered around the house all day, then went to the airport to go and fly.  On takeoff, the battery charge light came on, so I just did a circuit and landed (electric fuel pumps mean when the battery's dead, you get to land regardless.)

I fiddled about with the battery, hoping to have an excuse to upgrade to a Lithium battery, but I think it's the regulator.  I texted Ken, and he also thinks it's the regulator.

Tonight, I attended the EAA membership meeting over Webex.

June 16th

Tilly's face is back to normal :o)

After work I went and met Randy at the airport so we could fly two of his kids - we flew up a river he's been interested in exploring, then went back to Lincoln.  It was a really nice night, but there weren't any parachutes to look at on the way home.
