coil mounts made from aluminum angle pieces

This morning I made whole wheat blueberry pancakes for Petra and I, being it's her birthday week. She's now seven. Later, after doing my ride on the Forest Park trail, I started in on the CB450 again. I worked on fabricating the mounts for the new ignition coils. I'm using coils designed for an XS650 and they require modifying the original mount. I used a piece of aluminum drawer track harvested from my old kitchen cabinets to make the mounts.

 Yesterday I  dehydrated some tomatoes for use this winter. I'm getting more than I can use now. I also transplanted 1/2 my potted mint into an old salt glazed clay sewer pipe and extended the grape trellis by the shed with bamboo so it can grow taller now.

 Also today, I racked the hard cider into a clean jar to get it away from all the gunk settled in the bottom. I'll let it continue to work a while if it wants to but it's activity has really slowed down. I've been eating the sauerkraut also but have not refrigerated it as I will let it ferment some more too.
