Good morning!!!!

On the chainsaw saga. It looks to pass the pressure test holding 10 psi but seems to fail on the vacuum test getting only down to 5 inchHg and then dropping to zero when stopping the pumping. Points to oil seal failures because during vacuum the seal lips get sucked in and leaking.

Its common on a 2 stroke, when the crank seals failed, you would get a "run away" wide open lean condition, due to an "extra air intake". Many a rider have flipped over backwards on bigger 2 stroke dirtbikes due to this.

Good evening already !

Here rather warm day 12 ... 14°C and no rain


Unfortunately this morning had to visit tooth fairy. Now I have one molar less....
Surgery went well, ok still some pain, but not critical.
That dental clinic today have 5 years anniversary and they were throwing for customers of today a lottery. I won 50 € coupon. Not bad


On my way back spotted such interesting car

That car has VS plate, means car is more than 25 years old and is in mint condition. Noone can have those VS plates cheap. Here our DMV have group of special experts for evaluating such old cars.


Later went to our DMV to put wife's Tesla on our license plates. I bought that car in Germany, as Elon is selling Teslas cheaper there. But then I had to drive around 6 m on German plates. For e-cars registration fees are ridiculously small.

So after all - good day today

Hope you guys had the same

North Bay trip was 'uneventful for me, but I did see two guys getting hi speed awards. Sux to be them.
Don't have to go again until November....maybe.
Tomorrow will be a dump run and then get baked.
Traditionally, Thanksgiving is supposed to be turkey day, but this year we are doing a ham. I might make a sweet potato pie for me or a 1/2 serving of candied yams. Junior doesn't like sweet potatoes, must be the scotchman in him.

Won’t get as much done today as might have hoped, but I did get tile set

About to leave. Sophie has a clinic appointment. Nothing serious expected, but she has a pain she’d like looked at. That’ll kill rest of the day’s progress.
