There are scooter parts and gun parts making their way to me through the normal methods of delivery. What better sign of spring could there be than those two?
I've ordered scooter parts from PowerSportsFactory to get my Phantom ready for the riding season. I've bought a drive belt and new variator weights to replace items that get worn just through normal operation. I haven't ordered the 4-valve cylinder head upgrade yet, though I want it. The Infernal Revenue Service is sadly going to be getting a large portion of my normal mad money for the next month or two, so no spendy scooter parts for now.
I've also ordered a upgraded firing pin for my SKS rifle. As it is supplied, the firing pin in the bolt does not have a return spring and it is entirely possible for the firing pin to get stuck in the forward position, making the rifle go into a full-auto mode with no warning or intention. This new firing pin corrects that possible fault by changing the shape of the angle and adding a return spring, making it function like just nearly every other modern firearm and increasing its safety factor considerably.
How else can I tell that spring is here? Well my neighbor Leonard raked an entire pallet of steer manure fertilizer onto his lawn on Saturday so now when the wind blows, it smells like I'm next door to a stockyard! I managed to get just half of my front yard raked of all the winter detritus before my lower back began complaining about all the bending and stooping I was doing. And of course, I couldn't finish the job on Sunday because there was 4" of snow on my yard!
It must be spring...
UPDATE: First, thanks Murray's Guns! My new firing pin modification parts arrived today. That's real service. I ordered the parts by phone on Thursday and they were in my mailbox tonight.
Second, my scooter parts have been shipped by PowerSportsFactory! That's another fine example of great customer service. Thanks PSF!
