Finally, after being pelted with road debris that the sticky Dunlop Q4s were tossing at me as I followed Ryan on a Sunday morning canyon descent, I decided the Duke’s radiator looked awfully naked. So, I ordered up an Evotech-Performance Radiator Guard ($130). This black powder coated, machined aluminum cover looks like it should have been part of the Duke’s factory design. The front grill has a mesh that is fine enough to prevent damage from stones while still allowing ample cooling airflow. The guard is held in place by two side covers that wrap around the ends of the radiator and dress up what was a rather mundane part of the engine. The Evotech’s fit and finish make it look like original equipment and not an add-on part.

The Cuisinart electric tea kettle has a base that plugs into the wall (Fig. 4). There’s at least one sociopath in the Cuisinart engineering department who decided to use triangular-head screws in the base. Thankfully Kyle over at iFixit gave me a tool kit that has a three-point screwdriver bit. I thought the smoke was coming from the base unit, but the base is passive—it’s just a connector that passes wall voltage into the pot itself. Note that it also passes earth ground in the center pin; the metal construction means this kettle cannot be a double-insulated product.

This urgency means it’s one of the best-climbing trail bikes around, though it’s not quite as ridiculously good at making molehills out of mountains as something like the tighter-feeling Ripley LS.

Anchorage: Federal marine biologists for the first time have recorded singing by one of the rarest whales on the planet, the North Pacific right whale. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration researchers used moored acoustic recorders to capture repeated patterns of calls made by male North Pacific right whales. It’s the first time right whale songs in any population have been documented, NOAA Fisheries marine biologist Jessica Crance says. She spoke to southern right whale and North Atlantic right whale experts to confirm that singing had not previously been documented. Researchers detected four distinct songs over eight years at five locations in the Bering Sea off Alaska’s southwest coast, Crance says. Only about 30 of the animals remain. Whalers nearly wiped out the slow-moving whales, which remain buoyant after they are killed.

“I think what makes his creations so valuable is the attention to detail, but also his association with each piece is amazing,” Dahmen said. “He’s like a savant of tractors. He knows what year, what type, what went into it and how many they made.”

17. The sight-glass fits into a recess in the side of the kettle. It has a silicone grommet gasket at the bottom and a black rubber top seal and vent at the top.

Obhof said many constituents — most vocally, those in the auto industry — have asked for the change over the years.

The first tractor he restored, while still managing a Birkey’s store, was an International Harvester F-12, following by an F-14, an H Series, a couple of Bs and Cs, and some implements.
