scrottieTechnically, I made it out here in one day, but it was a very long day and left me still recovering the next day, as well as still needing to get something for groceries.
Forgetting the camp stove reminded me of once I came out and forgot my mouse (and haven't sorted out the touchpad again yet despite efforts) so after a few places wound up at a Walmart and got a Logitech. I'm also reminded because a few short months later, that Logitech mouse is starting to freak out and it isn't the battery. Hmm, the generic AA battery in the mouse outlived the mouse. Thankfully, while I was there, I got two.
Today was mucking with the carbs on the motorcycle so I could muck with the fuel line. I wound up replacing the fuel line with one off the boat (boat fuel lines and filtered got shuffled around). The wee hint of diesel didn't seem to bother the motorcycle. Inside diameter is the same but whoa boy the OD is different. The old one looks positively flimbsy by comparison.
Then some grinding at the boat engine frame to create access to the oil pressure valve until the little "12volt Max" battery pack in the drill (this was one of the purchase objectives of the drill) went dead, which was tragically fast compared to the El Cerrito house 17 (19? I forget) volt drill and pack. Also, if the three lithium cells are 3.7 volts each in series, it would be about 11.1 volts. Way to round up there. Maybe I should have gone beefier or maybe this will be okay. Corded drills are a completely different beast (this drill is not a beast).
I also put some holes in a disposable propane cylinder that I failed to reuse when it blew its pressure release immediately after I refilled it. I forced the pin back in so as not to vent propane and used it but stored it outside. It seems like it got used up and vented in some combination. I remember reading somewhere that you can't recycle those unless there are clear, obvious holes in them so they know it isn't pressurized with flammable gas.
There was a bit of work-work this morning and paperwork related to vehicle ownership, moving, taxes, insurance, etc. Turns out that CA counties really love to tax boats. I still need to change my address with the DMV and cancel boat tax with Contra Coasta.
I have some yayas.
Hoping to try to catch Amtrak to Cal Sailing in the morning...
Success. Cal Sailing has adopted a tuxedo cat and she's a sweetheart but insists on wet food. Cheese is not acceptable. Light winds for an open house and short lines.
