Back to work after nearly a week of vertigo and associated ailments Still not 100% but it's much better now. On the plus side, I lost 5+ pounds.

I'm a Tar Heel fan and I will leave it at that.

I lost 12 lb with COVID this summer but I did not have any vertigo. I did my first full length standard run last night for the first time since May.

Don't y'all think that turn signals on cars should be installed so they can be seen both from the front and back as well as from the side where the car is turning? I think they used to be all that way, but not now.

"The general thinks his pay is good (quite good), but his students stink! (In many ways) " I yelled today. Several times.

Had a left hand drive '55 Austin A30 with a door wing signal light. When I was parked, sitting in the drivers seat and someone was outside talking to me, I would try to manoeuvre them beside the door and make a left turn signal.......wham. Good times

My 1952 Fiat 1400 had those. My friend who had been stationed in Germany, called them Mocks Nix Sticks.

The Austin brings back another memory. About 1957-58 while in the Civil Air Patrol cadets, one of the older cadets had an A40. He was rather a bore and had brought a date to the Friday night CAP meeting which was not done, I suspect because she was quite pretty and wanted to show off. It was dark when the meeting let out, so a few of us found his Austin in the parking lot, lifted the rear end, put concrete blocks under the axles and waited in the bushes for the results. He escorted his cutie to her side, then entered the driver's side, started up, shifted to reverse and nothing but wheels spinning. He got out to see and because of the darkness, missed the spinning wheels. We were far enough away he couldn't hear our muffled laughter, he then tried again, then took his cutie back into the airport and took a cab.

Ah! The semaphore turn signals. I was not thinking of those. How thell did they work at night? And then there is the mechanical linkage to worry about.

Like my neighbor with the Mercedes. I think almost everybody uses a simple bowden cable to open the door over the gas cap. But not them! It is VACUUM BASED! And we are not talking engine vacuum, either.

The semaphore turn signals were operated by an electrical solenoid and a simple linkage and had a light bulb inside so that they were easy to see at night

Except, that one side of my Fiat (fix it again tony) often only came part way up and the light worked fine in daytime but seldom at night

Lucas solenoids?

In need of an afternoon nap, but work tends to frown upon that for some reason.

Was supposed to get an MRI on my neck this morning. Couldn't lay flat on the board due to the pain. We are going to try a different machine tonight with some Valium.

Bugga. That is no fun at all. I hope tonight works.

 

[Viking1066]
