Saturday - March 1, 2025:
Ordering more parts, this time from Amazon. Found a different part number for the turn signal electronic flasher with adjustable timing. Also ordered 1157 dual filament bulbs, 1157 dual white LEDs, 1157 dual amber LEDs, and some good quality ignition wrenches, inch and mm, 20-pc set (all in a pocket size roll-up pouch). They should arrive by mid week. -- Found out another tire shop in Lombard, Illinois (that knows how to work on wire wheels) has the owner retired, and the building closed for demolition and redevelopment. The business has been sold to the prior shop manager, who intends to reopen it as soon as he can find a new location. All this required updates on a few Links pages for North American British Car Shops.

Not much happening, waiting for parts, keeping an eye on recent rocket launches and moon landings, answering tech questions.

Monday - March 3, 2025:
Updated a Dash & Instruments tech page on Rotary drive cables for speedometer and tachometer on various models of MGA. Looks like this is going to spawn several new part numbers tech pages (whenever I find the time). -- Knock off in the evening to watch the intended launch of SpaceX IFT-8 super heavy Starship, which was scrubbed in the final seconds of count down. 24-hour minimum turn around, maybe try again in a day or three. -- Updated a Top & Tonneau & Side Curtains tech page for Recovering MGA 1600 type vinyl covered side curtains, more photo and notes.

Tuesday - March 4, 2025:
One week since ordering from Scarborough Faire. Not unusual to hear nothing until the package is delivered, but it shouldn't take a week. Called for a tracking number, found it hasn't been shipped yet. Bummer, what else can I say? Plan on delaying our departure from Florida for another 5 days (or more).

Wednesday - March 5, 2025:
Got a start on Part Numbers pages for speedometer and tachometer cable assemblies, cable jackets, cable cores, for various models of MGA, and there are a lot of them just to rearrange the list into alphanumerical order for the part numbers. -- I missed the President Trump's address to congress (State of the Union Address) last night, but took the time to watch a re-run today. Like a good movie, kind of long but good entertainment, recommended viewing; I will not discuss politics in pubic forum.

Did they really launch the super heavy booster and Starship ITF-8 today? Yes, well sort of. The booster was perfect (gain), doing its jop,and returning to launch site to land in the chopsticks. Ship-34 blew up, again, nearly a copy of Ship 33 failure. Oh well., maybe next time. -- Atleast five boxes of parts arrived so far, so we may have few things to do this week end. Looks like the Scarborough Fair order is still not shipped.
