Lego Friends car solar car charger

With a long drive to Yosemite coming up, on my laundry list was to adjust the clutch pedal on the Taco (something I've never done). Since Erik was busy shooting propane tanks on BLM land, I hit up my next best resource: old school car forums. (Side note: praise the Old Web). For my own convenience, I've reposted the important parts here.

If I recall correctly, the smaller (red arrow) nut is 12mm and the larger (blue arrow) nut is 14mm. Performing the adjustment made it easy to understand how the nut would back off and allow more play after many pedal compressions.

On mine, the button cluster simply pulled out. But since my pedal height was fine, I didn't go further.
Friendsgiving

Walking in San Franscisco

This past weekend featured Friendsgiving #1 up in SF. The adults caught up (notably, without Powerpoint presos that Cheryl suggested) and the kids ran amok. Due to a flu outbreak we bailed early, hoping to beat the onset of symptoms and contagiousness. We didn't end up getting it.
