I should have known, but I did not … it really was too easy.

It feels like my ability to build stuff has exploded recently. Welding, metal folding, CAD, the lathe. That’s all from learning some basic skills. Some of it from watching makers on YouTube.
I ran across a few examples recently of people learning things “by mistake”. And since I’m pretty much avoiding FB, that post is here….
GoPro and accidental timelapse videos
I recently got a used GoPro 7 black, and it works quite well, except that it occassionally shifts into time-lapse mode and I get hundreds of jpegs instead of my cool action video :(

I picked up a pair of DRZs at the start of June. Ryan’s black SM and a blue S (Shane’s). I thought I’d use this (long) post to cover the story of the SM rebuild.
I’d heard about the bike at least a year earlier from Karl. “DRZ SM with a knock”. Ryan and I had exchanged messages, but I figured I’d likely need to replace the crankshaft at least some of the bearings, rings, and get a valve job done. The numbers didn’t look great. A year later, mention of the bike came up, and the price had dropped.
