Wow. Eli didn't screw up. Good detective work! I am sure he feels vindicated, and should!

He doesn’t know it yet but I will be sure to tell him tomorrow.

I had Eli with me in the garage this morning while I explained why what happened wasn't his fault. Together we fixed the ring on the carb so that would not happen again.

Catching up with the carnage.

The Honda is fixed. The replacement fender doesn't have as nice a finish as the previous one did, but it ain't bent. I think the grab bar may have gotten slightly tweaked because it fought me getting it back together.

Also fixed the broken fog light brackets on Arpok. I used the new to me Clarke 130 Mig welder I got from my Dad to glue things back together and did a little modification on the brackets while I was at it. I was practicing welding safety; helmet, do-rag, jacket, gloves, along with...shorts and sneakers.

All that's left is the steerer on the Toazuma and the bike. Neither is a rush.
