More Stan's Added to Rear of 29er

Just documenting the activity I tried a baby-Advil syringe, but only 1.5ml at a time was tedious. Found an old baby-nostril plunger that could do 20-30ml at a time, and put in 2X squeezes from
my massive fresh bottle-o-Stans.

Hope to MTB in the early AM light of standard time.

Bleeding the Bloody Brake on the FM166

Up to 3x attempts, brakes are still less than perfect. Which is not enough since that is the point
of the FM166.

Attempt 2 I had help from Zeb, made some huge messes and sprayed mineral oil all over. Good father son project.

Reviewed some more You Tube and realized I might need a much better bleed kit. Much complaining about tiny air bubbles, clamps on hoses, dual-syringes. Jagwire $60 kit.

So I went out and tried again, using more suction to pull out the bubbles, more dramatic mineral oil
sprayings and leakings - just a mess. Maybe a slight improvement.

Darth Pre-Trick-Or-Treating Revolution - Ear Holes

Karl at work suggested holes "like a football helmet" to enhance my hearing.

Brilliant, rushed home before we were to leave and realized I owned a hole-saw :)



The costume worked great, I was able to walk from Woolsey to the party on Russell street,
and back. I had to turn the fan on full for climbing, but otherwise low was enough.

Next year (documented here for review):
- big bright and noisy lightsaber
- vader voice distortion box and amplification
- clear lenses?
- gauntlets
