Took the Rawland to Tyler at Paramount to up the pre-load on the headset (and to note how he did that, in case more is required), then took it for a 10-mile ride on the Minuteman in the late afternoon, warm and dazzling to start, then shady and cooler. Kept a good pace, and didn't encounter any more shimmy.


Brought a bit of twine along, and used some Boy Scout knots to repair the Egg. I think there's a bit more to do, but this was definite progress; hope the anonymous artist doesn't mind. Thinking about it, I suspect the Egg was brought down when a crew was clearing knotweed. Oops...


Arlington's Great Meadow was looking lush today.


This was one of those evenings when there was more color in the East than the West, a function of where the clouds were, I think.


I'm continuing to grin about the Rawland. I expect that will persist for some time.
