Then on Sunday night and all of Monday, I will have RO to rough up, and we are gonna tear the town apart! I think we will make a cake, too.

BuffJim Posted January 16, 2021 Share #4 Posted January 16, 2021 We are heading to my parents tomorrow until Monday. My father is slipping away. Hospice changed his status to imminent, which means they estimate less than two weeks. So we’ll be there to support and help this weekend. This is the first week he hasn’t gotten out of bed or eaten solid food. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This adjustment seems to be critical to the desired wheel speed at launch and these carbon pads are recommended to be more consistent. In the drawing above the input shaft to the transmission runs through the center of the assembly with the Slipper Hubs keyed to the shaft. The nut and spring assembly adjusts the amount of "grab" or slip between the gear and the input shaft. It's possible to tighten it so much that there is no slip. The adjustment needs to be changed depending on tires, traction of the track surface, the power applied by the motor in start mode. Just as with full sized cars the clutch locks up after a bit and rarely slips again to the finish line. At the end of last years testing I was still spinning the tires too fast at the starting line. This year someone taught me to dial down the start power, maintain better traction at the launch and make it quicker earlier in the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattlecan ★ Posted January 16, 2021 Share #15 Posted January 16, 2021 Installing new light fixtures in the kitchen and entranceway. Going to the library at 2:00 pm for a scheduled front door hold pickup. They have initiated a new feature they call grab bag where you schedule a pickup on line and select from a list of genres and they select 5 books for you, but them in a bag with your name on it, and leave it on a table in the vestibule at the appointed time. We are currently on lockdown and cannot enter libraries and such. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday she had two nibbles out of a half piece of toast and last night she asked for popcorn. She maybe ate ten kernels, the bowl I gave her didn’t look any different. I’m able to manage her pain with the morphine. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted January 16, 2021 Share #29 Posted January 16, 2021 Last night we just stayed in because of the lousy wind. We watched "My Spy" on Amazon Prime. Mindless action flick, but kinda fun... Just about done with work. We are heading to Lincoln to have Christmas/birthday dinner with our son tonight. Tomorrow will be mostly lazy, I hope. I will try to get a ride in, though.

BuffJim Posted January 18, 2021 Share #30 Posted January 18, 2021 Today’s picture. Not much change from yesterday. Just keeping him comfortable. My mother is becoming more realistic that the time is upon, could be anytime, but he’s not likely to make it his 86th birthday Jan 28th. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
