Other Things Simplex / Re: Portland 2015

I'm a little disturbed I couldn't attend being only 2 hours away..you all know it's been wet a lot here in indiana...so the week before I'm scratching like I got mange all on my neck and arms...eventually I get worried cuz I'm using chemicals all around the house etc and I thought maybe I was having a reaction . I wasn't but when I went to the clinic they sent me to the hospital to be treated for severe gnat bites.  I guess stepping out onto the porch to smoke isn't so smart,even though there's a bug wacker there and tiki torches going often.
  So, steroids and antibiotics and cremes to treat me and by Friday I was thinking maybe Saturday I'd drive up....nope....new bites,and knowing it was damp there I couldn't take the chance.  It's subsiding mostly now but I stay in a lot too.
 So,bugs ruined my plans ....and I've never had an issue before moving here or this year.
   Now I'm thinking maybe I can attend the buckeye scooter meet there in early sept. Isn't the same but least something.
   Following online I noticed a few things besides those goofy carts cluttering the roads.
  Opening the fairgrounds to early birds Sunday...5 days before the official first day...guarantees only one thing in my view.  The meets over when it starts mostly. I heard it was emptying sat...if that's so they need to change something.

Who's already there and still posting? Last night a buddy called and said it's over 75% full and drying out.

They're looking for volunteers for the sandbag brigade downtown there. Pics I've seen show everything wet or muddy. One way into the fairgrounds because of flooded entrance .
  I'm going though but dropped plans to camp. I had gnats bite me so bad last week I needed a hospital visit and shots so I'm not staying in a swamp .
 Hope to see you all there and get many pictures!

How hard is it to find a good auto clutch and what do they go for? I know someone looking for one and he asked me.  I told him I'd try to find out but I'm clueless

What's the number on those little loop clamps that wrap around the spoke nipple on these? Anyone know if someone sells them with a smaller bore?  So, to install some out on a spoke more.

Somehow in my infinite wisdom I managed to move somewhere colder than CT..Indiana. And although I have heat in the garage here I haven't ventured out much yet.
 I still have some bracketry to put on the truck build and then that'll move along faster.

A lot of automotive multimeter's have a tach on them...with a connection that clips right on the plug wire like a timing light.
