there's not much I like better than a good garage sale day. I got some nice old metal organizing drawers for the garage for 4 bucks, an old school full face helmet for a dollar (I collect old metal flake and goofy helmets for garage decorations) that looks like this without the windscreen:
but the best part is a set of 40mm Dellorto carburetors for a type I VW motor. manifolds & linkage, but no air filters for a hundred bucks. They go for $500-$700 a pair used & 40mm are the perfect size for the baja's 1910 motor. Yippie! They're very similar to weber IDFs, but supposedly a little smoother running overall. They look like this:
I'll get better gas mileage, smoother part throttle running and more power than the single weber 44 that's on there now. A single carb means super long intake runners where the fuel falls out of suspension. Long runners are good for low end torque but that's it.

I sure do miss your blogs
makes me happy enough.
as for pursuing some technical hobby to death and dishing about it in various online venues - got it covered. not motorcycles yet - nice try with that, though! (like we don't know that chicks talking bike hits your eyes and instantly morphs into dirrrty talk.) xo
ps - the appointment got bumped to a week from monday. *bows head, toes the dirt* just sayin.
