Sunday, December 27, 2020 -- Dockweiler Beach

Noticed this on my ride back home.

Vintage VWs hanging out at one of the Dockweiler Beach Parking Lot...



 

Old Camp Stove made in Sweden -- needs the fitting/connection for a 1 lb. propane tank...

I have this old camp stove that needs the fitting for the propane tank.
This fitting on the back of the stove appears to be a 14 mm connection.
Of course, all the stuff available in the US uses English fittings.
Need to find a converter fitting and the right connection for attaching a one lb. propane camping fuel tank...

This may be a tall task...

 

Dining table bench - part 1

S bought a used dining table for her apartment.
It's a large table with two leaves & can probably seat 8 to 12 people.
The table didn't come with chairs.
So, she wants to make a bench that can be used to seat some of the people (mix of chairs and benches).
I have this slab of lumber (pretty thick) that she can use to make a solid bench.
One edge is "natural" or "live" & the other edge is straight cut.
The straight cut edge can be the inside (where people's legs go).

 

Replacing the rear cassette on the Cannondale -- part 4 -- cleaning the rear derailleur

Before installing the wheel with the replacement cassette, the derailleur needs cleaning.  There's grease, dirt and sand on everything...


The red arrow is pointing to the main spring for the derailleur.  It's almost completely coated with sand...


I used compressed air to blow off most of the sand.


The "jockey" wheels' teeth are worn and there's a ridge around the wheel.


Nearly done cleaning...


The red arrow points to a stop screw that is not sitting on the derailleur hanger tab that it's supposed to be sitting on...  Misaligned...


Adjusted the screw out and now it's on the screw stop on the derailleur hanger...


Done cleaning.
Ready for the wheel.
