Increases the convection process in the oven.
Each blower supports one to two zones in the oven...this one has 8 zones. Each zone runs at different temps.

I’ve had 2 inguinal (groin) hernia fixed in the past 18 mos. I feel ya. Rest up and don’t push it, heal it right the first time or you’ll need a return trip.

On other news, snow report! 4+ inches in south jersey and still coming down. Had to go take care of neighbors dog, they’re out of town and we keep her fed and walked.

I replaced another 4 lug studs on my front axle yesterday. Cheap lug nuts and junk steel stripped 4 on one side and one on the other. I paid up for a good set and they went on much easier.

I got a new 33 and my wheel fixed after an accident in October, so she's back up to full strength for the trip this weekend!

Actual cruiser content for a change from me.
The wiper motors on the 61 work...mostly, sorta-ish....one clearly has had a sizeable portion of its smoke released previously.
By shear accident I stumped across a motor that looked like it would be a drop replacement for the early early 40 series motors.
Turns out not quite that way....physically yes straight drop in...mentally, erra I mean electric wise not so much.
Im actually pretty proud of myself on this one.
New motors were set up to be switched on the ground side...oe is switched on the positive side.
As luck would have it, I have a brand new soldering iron kit....not sure how or when I came into that, but the layer of dust says its been some time.....as me and electric are about as friendly as water and electric.
But with some side cutter action and weld..I mean soldering i now have fully operational wipers on the 61.

The local station hyped up a segment on using a "flamethrower" for snow removal...



FFS... That's not a flamethrower... 🙄
 
Re-wiring. Underhood and under dash. Moved the MSD into the cab below the glove box to help keep the RF away from the sniper. Redid power leads with a bus bar to clean things up. Underhood is better even if it still looks messy. This ain’t no show truck though.

Still working on under dash. New fuse block in and re-working everything to it.

I finished up the lamp I have been fabricating. It is mostly made from scrap air-cooled Volkswagen parts. The base is a pressure plate from a clutch with a swing axle transmission side gear to house the switch. Two engine cylinders make up the body of the lamp with tubes spacing them apart. Then I added a piece of perforated sheet to the top and the cloth cord, illuminated push button switch, light socket, LED filament bulb, and wiring.

Last year a friend with an art gallery convinced me to consign this lamp. The other week I got a check in the mail. I had actually just thought earlier in the week that I should swing by to talk to her to see whether she still wanted it in the gallery as it had been about a year since I put it in and it didn't look like it was going to sell.

So I stopped in to see if she had any advice. Did customers comment that it was too big and heavy? Not big and heavy enough? Any particular comments? So now it looks like I have to come up with another version.

That doesn't answer the question everyone has right now.
This stuff can bring retarded money for what it is.
