Gray hat for charity

It’s a little big for Bobby, my styrofoam head model, but it will fit an adult man. I’ll probably send it off to Operation Nightwatch, when they come up on the list.

Cascade 220 Charcoal Gray (#8400) and Silver Gray (#8401), oh how I love you! These are the best grays in the world. Wish I hadn’t knit the hat on 6mm needles - it’s a bit floppy, looks better knit on 5mm needles - but the 5mms were busy with another project, and I needed something simple to knit while finishing up Battlestar Galactica season 2.

I patched the quarter-sized hole in my headlight with some clear packing tape.

The word you’re looking for is: “classy.”

The battery frightens me. I don’t know what the blue stuff is, but I finally did determine that the piles of yellow powdery stuff are degenerated foam from the straps, which used to cushion it in place. A very long time ago.

There’s a bit of a hole in the bottom of the muffler.

Also, on the side.

I’m taking it in today to be thoroughly inspected, top to bottom, by an awesome Honda and Acura repair shop here in Seattle.

I feel like I should apologize to them up front, for the horrors they are about to see.
