Proto 1/2" Speed Wrench, Unknown Machinist's Square & S-K extension and 13/16" spark plug socket (Before & After Cleaning)

Bike Ride to Manhattan Pier -- Saturday, December 15, 2018

At the "hang gliding spot" parking lot, they were having a kids event with trucked-in snow. Of course we stopped to touch the snow! Of course, Shelby didn't want to have her picture taken...

Pelican Cars -- Cars & Coffee @ Peninsula Center Parking Lot in PV -- Saturday, December 15, 2018

It was a good event with lots of interesting cars. I didn't take any pictures, except for these of a Mini in the parking area for spectators. Shelby went with me (very unusual). She's on the Berkeley FSAE team & works on suspension related stuff, so she was somewhat interested in the suspension on some of the cars, like the Ariel Atom.

Christmas-New Years break in the UK -- Part 2 -- Stonehenge at sunset

The road that we were on happened to be the one that runs closest to Stonehenge. You can see it in the distance as you approach it.

There's no place to stop on this road near Stonehenge.

The arrow indicates the direction of the sun during the summer & winter solstice...

Walking back to the visitor's center (about 1.5 miles).

Stonehenge visitor center, gift shop & cafe.

Wilton Vise(s) -- Trying to sell these two -- I have too many of them

The surface corrosion is actually very light. It would clean up easily. This one is missing one of the jaws.

Shimano Dura Ace Brake Levers for the 3T Handlebars for the Bianchi

I already had these brake levers. They would not fit on the handlebar. Looking at the loop on the brakes, they are kinda oval instead of round.

I used this round part of a vise handle to bend the metal loop near where it comes together to make the hole more round (than oval). This worked really well.
