I'm ready to rig up a power drill to turn the thing the old-fashioned
way, but since I'd flown about five hours on the borrowed tach, it'd
take about the same amount of time to run the new tach forward. *Hoping
for a quicker solution.

On the shelf under my lathe lies several small sychronus 120 VAC
motors I've salvaged. It's relatively easy to hook one up to a tach,
then let it sit on the bench, quietly spinning away until the hour
reading is correct (or close enough to finish up with a drill). You're
welcome to have one.

Missed you at AWO. On Sunday, I couldn't help but notice a Flybaby
sitting out in the rain with nary so much as a garbage bag over the
cockpit to ward off the rain. Darned if I didn't see it taxiing out an
hour or so later, to brave the elements. I hope he didn't have far to
go. Do leather helmets shrink as they dry? Seems like I saw torture
like that in "Son of Paleface" . . .
