Dead spark plug. Cyl 5. Infinite resistance between plug cap and electrode. Lead is good: tested with HEI tester and spark was a brilliant white/blue. Just zero arc in the chamber: no fire. And apparently it was failing during my drive home yesterday. Buffalo usually gets 18-19/gal on that run and when I filled up, … Continue reading So, ends up as

All over the place today

November 26, 2022 by diogenesoftherifle, posted in Uncategorized

Needed to fix some of the slats on the porch today: just dry rot, wet rot, what have you, but they were getting that 'soft' feel as you walked across them, and I really don't like the idea of falling through and busting a leg or something.

WINGS OF CHANGE

What happens when a wounded veteran, a computer genius, and a handful of fiercely independent misfits decide that the best way to change the world is to stop waiting for someone else to do it?

G has spent years flying from a wheelchair, learning to make the sky obey him even when his body won’t. T is a computer wizard with a mysterious past, an enormous extended family, and a talent for turning impossible ideas into working machines.

Together, they build things that shouldn’t exist.

Aircraft that push the limits of what remote flight can do. Technology born in garages and workshops instead of corporate boardrooms. And a community of people who have decided that family isn’t necessarily something you’re born into.

But building extraordinary machines attracts attention.

Soon G, T, and their growing family find themselves caught between government agencies, competing agendas, and people who would very much like to know exactly what they’re capable of. What began as tinkering and experimentation is becoming something far more consequential.

Because when you build something powerful enough to change the rules, eventually somebody comes looking for the keys.

A beginner’s guide to going off grid. how to evaluate if you even want to make the attempt. written by the curmudgeonly author of this blog and his dog
