–Took the Beemer to Lunardi’s in Los Gatos for meat, cheese, danish, apples, oranges, etc.
–Took a walk on the beach.
Month: September 2019 (Page 1 of 4)
–Played with Fujiyamas on the buffer.
Made pizza, as Grace was busy with Bochy farewell broadcast.
–WWII bubble lens flashlight came in; cool. Ordered 18650 battery; will be too small, but should work.
–Omeprazole arrived.
–Got scary email to wsf@comcast.net from scammer who knew froggy11 password. Turns out that email address was compromised, though not sure how they got the password. bf and flurbun seem safe at the moment.
–Played with regulators. Thought I had a severe setback when Mk5 kept blowing out; turns out the o-ring under the HP seat had fallen out at some point. All good now.
–Went to FedEx on Clare’s St. to send Rolex 5512 back to LAWW for warranty work.
–VDH stuff finally came in. Pin spanner too big for HP seat cap, but the “bullet” worked nicely to install piston stem through o-ring. Mk5 reg seems really consistent now. Tried 4 different HP seats, found that the “+” seat gave best IP at 125. May add a shim; may leave it.
–Went shopping at Farm Fresh Produce and Safeway; got a breakfast sandwich and some pastries for dessert at Donut Basket.
–Sorted out Scubapro Mk5 o-rings (sort of) and built as far as I can. Waiting for a couple parts from Vintage Double Hose.
–Barbecued hamburgers, corn, squash, plus heirloom tomatoes. Good!
–Went to Steven Bregman, PA, for another stab at getting rid of the ganglion cyst. He injects lidocaine and then squeezes the crap out it. Not necessarily the best approach, in my opinion.
–Deep Six first stage came back; I think it’s a new regulator (as opposed to a repaired original).
–Roasted some wet process beans. I think those are all I’ll be buying going forward–no chaff to clog up the roaster.
–Got new speedometer on Inner Light. Setting it up is another matter.
–Discovered that hour hand was loose on Rolex 5512–the one that came back from LAWW with dust under the crystal. grrr…
–Took a walk to the bluff with Grace, got some bearclaws.
