This video was made from images across a span of a number of months, I think Nov – Mar.  This was my first attempt to make a time lapse over more than one day. It started out on battery power, then located an AC power adapter for my camera which allowed this to function without recharging and replacing the batteries daily.

I had my issues in this process. Not ideal location, too many images (setting on the intervalometer), not using manual focus, and the sad fact that the end would be of flowers dying.

Live, learn, adapt, overcome, and do not repeat.

This spot is rather new, built in about the last year or so. We took it for a jont after work. Met some people that maintain the trails as group of them were meeting for a ride.

They do night rides on these trails it turns out. We took off without them as we needed the sunlight to navigate.

Will be back!

I installed some new strut mounts and set of USDM STi Pink wagon springs that I found on craigslist.

At this time since knew would require an alignment, so I went and purchased a new axle to replace one that was torn since I got the car. This would get all things that would knock the alignment out in one shot to save time.

In the process of installing that axle I found that the drivers side was torn again. But the bigger issue I ran into was the inner joint on the axle popped out and was not going back in without removing.  but since it was now 3-5 inches longer, the axle would not come out of the hub!

I pulled the tie rod, then when separating the ball joint with pickle fork it ripped the crap out of the rubber boot.  Domino effect got me good in this portion of the install in pulling the hub, to remove the axle.  Even getting the ball joint out of the hub was task that took the technique of getting a bigger hammer.

After 9 days of brewing I pulled the scoby, separated all but a cup of the mother then added two cups of grape juice for the second part of fermentation.
This part is sealed in sealed in KORKEN jars from ikea. This will produce the carbonated fizz in the brew. Will see how long this takes, read range is 1-7 days then refrigerate until you drink it.

I know what I am going to use this for, but the included instructions confused me, so I looked at the address on the business card.
www.hydroclubusa.com

Would be interesting to see what this would do on early 90s Honda. Would kill a modern day engine.

The uncle Sam theme is the best part of the site. Not sure if will get any benefits with out proper tune of the caf. But this guy started his own business with a kit to mix hydrogen and gasoline to a car with a fuel cell. Weird that has been disproven in tests, but why not believe him. The devils advocate in the info on the site makes me curious 😉

I wanted this part to run a green hose on my engine to my brake Booster. This will restrict air flow in one direction and replace the check valve that is built in the OE hose. Thus making the brakes work.
