Stop in for a cup of coffee

Good morning everyone. I hope all is well. Failed a 2nd coil on my Demon. That is 2 in 2-3 weeks. I changed the alternator and the mounting of the coil. Added another ground wire from intake to engine plate and engine plate to chassis. Not sure what caused the failure. First one lasted 7 years in its set up. Way more rigid mount now and radiator hose is no longer rubbing on it.
 
Coil failed 15 miles from home. Pulling the hood, checking all the plugs, diagnosing coil and repairing kicked my broken ***. That was Sat. Yesterday made the alternator and mount changes. Things hurt and get exhausted quickly. Pay for the work the rest of the night.
 
Considering this on Sunday. The Demon making a lap at Road America will be hilarious

So, how were the plates made. Like, DIY, or ordered from someone?

in school, we had the "oven" to burn the plate. at church, all that was done before I got there. here's the plate, go print. well, now, come to think of it, we did have a camera. you are really digging out some dusty files in the brain to answer this! :)

Well I made it to the airport safely with my terrible driver buddy. They overlooked my overweight bags. Very light traffic or crowds here. Breezed right through check-in and security. Now I have to kill a couple of hours before I board the plane to head out to my new AO

Thought you were gonna have a beer?
 
I had this funny memory a little bit ago when the TV showed an ad for the upcoming NLCS. Dodgers vs Milwaukee Brewers. 4 generations of us went to a ball game at Dodger Stadium in it's first year of operation, 1962. Dodgers were playing a team from Milwaukee, the Braves. On the Braves roster was a youngster that went on to hit 755 home runs during his MLB career. :lol: The Dodger Dogs were very tasty. Apparently the beer was also, the other generations consumed many of them :lol:

Kim will be talking to them on tuesday. There was only 7 bags so far. Im sure there will be more. Seems the wet ones are in the middle of the lift.
 
Been over on Messenger. Ted and I got invited to do a barrel pick this Friday at a distillery in Wisconsin. So excited.
