Tried self-excitation mode today. Not *that* kind, Tom! That was Wednesday
night!
And I did not go blind...
I only got 0.1 VAC output, so I went for a ride.
It was very cold and sunny. I headed out along the grassy area by the Long
Branch of Four Mile Run, took Brook Drive to Glen Carlyn Drive, Manchester
Street across Arlington Boulevard, and entered Bluemont Park the back way. I
paused to put up my hood, which I'd left down so I could hear traffic. My
fingers hurt.
A runner was in the park below. There weren't many people out. The chain
drive was quiet. The AC generator drive made more noise than the DC
generator drive. I followed the Four Mile Run Trail to the W&OD Trail over
the bridge, then took the W&OD under the bridge under Wilson Boulevard. Now,
what's that parallel trail called? Not Custis. Hm. Along Four Mile Run Drive
to Ohio Drive, then across Ohio where a driver paused for me politely, up
11th, a steep hill, to my new discovery: Potomac Street.
Potomac Street climbs away from Ohio Drive, yields to I think it is
Quintana, and then you follow Quintana or whatever downhill to 11th. It's a
loop. Brother Jeff and I have been riding Brook Drive and Olin Drive in
laps. This is, I think, a more challenging lap, and it's more accessible to
W&OD riders. In any case, it's right hand turns with no stop signs the whole
way, very rare in this urban area. I returned almost the same way.
Anyway, I need to write to someone whose email address I have lost to get
help with the AC generator, or take MET 350 at ODU, or check with Dr.
Majewski at NVCC before the 16th, the end of the term.
