Admit error, pull it back apart
Solar tracking array. Error (sorta) was that I was sending hot signal straight to relay coils, instead of through the limiters. What that did was get coils warm, because they were still in 'closed' position, but driving nothing except themselves. Probably not an issue: these are automotive relays after all. BUT, why keep doing the … Continue reading Admit error, pull it back apart
The colors of November
A fitting start to the end of year wrap up. Colors are a bit late, but only by a couple weeks. (I went back through old photos from kayaking.

We’ve been here before.
Tha'z Buffalo's engine bay. Takin' the heads off to make gettin' at bell housing bolts easier. (Won't get that benefit putting swap in, but I'll have a better idea of whats where then.) Unlike Bloo, S-10's have 9 bell bolts, and 2 are right up near the firewall. There is a solution that requires a … Continue reading We’ve been here before.
