Thunder bats

Yesterday I figured out the purpose of a mystery piece of the knee lever assembly: it’s retaining clip that holds the lever up out of the way when it’s not in use. It attaches with a pair of screws of the same diameter but different pitch to ones used elsewhere, and they’re both quite wee, not long enough to go in over the brass speed controller housing. Instead, I took everything apart and cut holes in the housing big enough for the heads of the screws to pass straight through. Cleaned everything up, and started reassembling.

Crossword after lunch, then I intended to start some pepper seeds, but it turns out I didn’t order them. So, no peppers in the house garden this year, unless we get starts from somewhere else.

Did a FaceTime with mom and dad while they were on their way to jar return (?) over the Hood Canal bridge. Things are well with them, aside from unseasonably low rainfall this spring.

Snack, then wasn’t in the mood for grimdark so I picked The Good Place back up. I wasn’t sure where I’d left off so ended up re-watching several episodes. Excellent details, very amenable to a second time through.

Dinner, then more Good Place, snack, and sleep. Epic dreams of space flight, research, civilian/military conflict, ecosystem conservation, elementary school art classes, spooky perfume.
