Starting thread for this week.  Bitter cold and a foot of snow in Michigan.  Sunny but no flying!

In Florida we have had a rare weather situation - last weekend was not a perfect flying weekend.  

Recently I have changed the bushings and all the hoses in front of the firewall.  In the process I installed a thermostat because I have the unusual condition of an engine which runs too cold - oil temps down to 55C in winter (florida winter min 65F).  The thermostat has definitely cured this issue and the oil temp sits between 85-110C.

I also installed a bandc voltage regulator with built in OVP protection.  This is a nice looking unit and now my voltage is steady at 14.3.  Better yet I have removed the separate OVP and relay because the bandC unit has OVP built in.  This also appears to have cured the occasional runaway amp reading - amps running up to 70A and then shutting down the dynon instrument.

I also installed a new brush unit in my airmaster.

My old style front wheel had a loose bearing and was a bit wobbly.  Regreased and tightened up everything.

Next task to change all the hoses aft of the firewall.

it never ends does it?
