Will be traveling this weekend, but not to Hof. Instead, Kinetic Sculpture Race in Klamath Falls, Oregon. They insist on having it same weekend as Hof Ting.
The Racing Sculpture is ready, but I'm still working on Millicent (the bus). She is getting a new foot feed -- accelerator pedal, to normal folks. Original pedal was awkwardly hinged, and connected to the engine with a five-or-six-foot-long cable that runs in a veritable knot, ending up 18 inches from where it started. And that cable is worn out. So I'm installing a "more normal" type of pedal, and fabricating a more direct linkage. Very confined space, though, and the link will have something like four bends in it. So having fun being creative with that.
Leaving this afternoon, back... uh... Monday or Tuesday.
Hey... just happened to think of... what with this weekend's event, which I missed last year... I'm celebrating one year since hospital and eradication of "gremlins". Three cheers for medical science!
On that note; get well soon, MagicMarty!
