Westbrook has good beer and the usually have a good truck. There's also the annual food truck rodeo happening this weekend at Riverfront Park (the old Navy yard). We went today and they have a great selection!

Got the idler gear on and checked the torque on all the bolts that I installed in 2019. The idle pulley didn't want to slide on easily so I ended up loosening the main bearings, dropping the crank ~1/16", slid the pulley on, and tightened everything back up. There's virtually no backlash between...
