Not much really.
Last night I took the scooter apart, (again) and re-installed the headlight relays from Eastern Beaver that I bought last summer and couldn't make work properly. This time, after my buddy Loc, (a trained electrical engineer) and I perused the wiring schematic for a bit, I got it working correctly.
The problem with scooters like mine is that the power to the headlights is AC not DC. And installing the headlight relays in the typical fashion makes the headlights either flash or go out when the power is applied. Yesterday we figured out a different method of wiring the trigger and when I tried that method, it worked! So now my headlights are 100% bright all the time, don't dim at idle and even better, the battery is still charging as it should. Good deal!
Today I booked and paid for our airplane tickets for our trip and cruise in October. Dad- we'll be staying until Wednesday and will need a ride to the airport. I also learned to play The Star Spangled Banner on my guitar- not as exciting as Jimi Hendrix's version but recognizable just the same. I cleaned out the shooting bench and gear from the back of the dusty truck bed and hosed it out, unrolled the camper awning and decided it didn't need scrubbing and listened to a bit of the Raptors game on the radio while drinking beer in the shade of my carport.
I even watched a couple hours of Mythbusters this afternoon when it got really hot outside.
Tomorrow its back to work and then Friday the BSU and I are taking the camper someplace cooler for a couple days!
