OK, so here’s the problem.  I think the Apple Watch is too small (but it’s weight is “just right”!) and I dislike the bands.  In fact, I never wear “normal” watches anymore – I greatly prefer nice and wide uniform width leather cuffs.

having some fun riffing off of some imagery I rather liked that I saw at a Christmas eve service.

Using a 24" x 36" sheet of (intended for ducting) sheet metal ($10) and rivet tool + rivets ($15) I was able to take a 14" x 8" opening and create a 4" deep reducer down to a 14" x 4" opening.

Russ and I changed our motorcycle’s oil and oil filters today.  This was the first time I’ve ever changed oil in a vehicle – I guess it sort of was a life goal I figured I’d never get around to – part of understanding cars/bikes more!   So it was a nice way to kick off the start of our 3-day holiday weekend.

Everything is working again with my greatly streamlined instrument cluster is in place! (Well my LED “idiot light” for “neutral” is always on now so one last adjustment/fix sometime soon!)

Whups, my new speedo’s turn indicator LED was only going on when left signal was running.

Speedo and relocated ignition bolted in to good spots while I figure out the wiring.

Today Hunter helped me inspect, test-drive, buy, and drive 100+ miles home from a mom-n-pop custom bike modifier in California’s central valley.
