    Also cyclists. If there is a person behind traveling faster than you, Get over when it is safe and allow them to pass. If that’s an inconvenience, you should have “left the house a few minutes earlier”.

    I’ve raced motorcycles 2 decades now and this is brought up in every safety meeting. If the rider behind you is faster, let them pass, regardless of how important you think your run is. It’s safer for everybody.















  • I have about the same dryer I’ve been keeping alive for years. I wouldn’t worry too much about the dull spot. That’s likely where the old coil got a hot spot before it failed. It’s just discolored the zinc coating. Shouldn’t effect heat dissipation but it might be more susceptible to rust now.

    If you’re not in a big hurry, I would replace that white plastic bearing the drum rides on (you can see it on the very left in the last picture). It’s super squeaky when it fails. If you don’t replace it, at least give it a dollop of high temp grease.

    High highs, low lows so far. Monday morning an adorable kitten wandered into my mechanic shop and applied for a job. He’s official pest control manager now unless I find where he came from. He doesn’t know a litter box or the sound of a cat food can opening so it’s probably a stray/feral. But it’s one of the most affectionate cats I’ve come across in a long time.

    Tuesday leaving work after a meeting/pets with the new employee, I made it about 2 blocks and someone ran a stop sign and hit me. I’m ok, they are apparently ok (I stayed far back to keep it civil) but my poor 30 year old truck took a pretty hard hit. It’s nothing special to anyone else; but I like it, and have put a lot of blood, sweat, and time into it. Hoping it’s not as bad as it looks.

    Anyways, here’s the cat tax: https://i.imgur.com/ntvdV4V.jpg Hope it brightens y’all’s day.
