Good Morning!!!! 45F @ 3:45AM. Cloudy this morning with showers during the afternoon. High 53F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 40%.
Overnight we picked up 0.14" of rain, forecast is for more tonight. It came down as snow to the north and east. A buddy of mine and his wife are trying to get down here in their motorhome before the passes in the Siskyous close; They're starting in Washington state near Port Townsend.
Another buddy of mine crashed his motorcycle on the freeway several years ago. He was banged up, but the EMTs let a friend take him home. Another friend dropped by later, saw that something was wrong, and got him to a hospital. He was suffering from internal bleeding, and would likely have died in his sleep. Hope your doctor doesn't find anything too serious, Buppies.
Reviewed the fuel injection section of my Subaru Haynes manual, and tried the new scanning DVM out on a fuel injector lead to see if it could pick up the firing pulse. No luck; it's just not fast enough at only 4 samples per second. The next page gave diagnostics for the Idle Air Control Valve, and it failed. It's an expensive part, but worth every penny if that's been the problem all along.
Also got the new windshield installed on the touring bike, and found the wrench that I'd dropped down inside the fairing the day the old one broke. The new shield doesn't obscure the rear view mirrors, but it might be a tad too tall. Looking forward to a little test ride, but not until it stops raining.
Hope everyone's week gets off to a great start!
