Looks like we're supposed to get another foot+ of snow. Thanks Michigan!

Going to riding at noon. Hopefully not another repeat of Wednesday.

Hmmm. Got a letter from a bank I've never had an account at, delivered to my mom's house.

If I understand the letter correctly, it says a cheque was issued for $xxxx on May 23 2019, but it has never been cashed.

Not sure how that's possible, as I've never dealt with this bank before. Have also never recieved any other mail from them.

Maybe they sent a cheque to me?

I guess I have to go to that bank in person and find out what kind of tomfoolery is going on. Hopefully it's not a trap.

Google that scenario and see if anything pops up. Phishing is getting more sophisticated.

Out early for some strenuous first tracking.

Now waiting for leftover Indian crepes to warm up.

Went fat biking at one of the trail systems near here. I don't even know what the precip was that fell on us for two hours, wasn't graupel, wasn't sleet. But it is raining now while 28F, so that's nice.

Was. Replaced the points and condenser with a little electronic ignition. Hence the issue. Low voltage due to some corrosion is causing my spark issue I’m hoping. So emory clothing all connections. Big Waukesha inline 6 in my Oliver 1850.
Check resistance on the primary coil. If the the ignition was turned on for a while without the engine running and the points are closed, current continuously runs through the coil causing to overheat. This can cause coils to short, reducing inductance and weak spark, or increasing resistance lowering current causing weak spark. You can also test the coil without the distributor by connecting a single plug directly to it and manually apply/disconnect 12v. This can get very "exciting" if you become part of the circuit. Just thinking out loud, ya probably know more than me.

My first and last was a John Deere Model B, magneto, grab the flywheel and rotate it to start, being careful not to get fingers between flywheel and casing. It'd happily start at -30° F.
