Bill, isn't quite the same as Ted, the colour of his tank is slightly different and there's a couple of years difference in age. 

It's been a couple of days since I last had John litted, but I pumped him up to full pressure, according to the built in gauge, and got four hours light, without any signs of 'pulsing', and there was still plenty of pressure in the tank when I unscrewed the pump to release what was there.

It was actually yesterday, but I had my first session at the cardiac rehab clinic, and things went very well.

Eh..? A chain without a master link..? Never heard of that before, how was it put together..? Are you sure you're looking at the right side..?

De-rusted the chain on my bike using a gallon of vinegar, a bucket, a wire brush and hell of a lot of effort. Got most of the rust knocked off the chain then cleaned it up with brake clean then hit it with some new chain grease to protect it. It was a bit of a pain to do as the chain had no master link and I did not have the tools to take it off, so I just de rusted it one section at at time. Rides a lot smoother now and with a lot less noise.  Over the summer I plan on building a different bike with a small 4 stroke engine so i can get between college campuses quickly and in style.

Help with that would be very much appreciated.

Tested all the FL ballasts and 20 work, I shall be using them for research and some light fixture building in the future. I also now find myself in need of a 135w or 180w SOX lamp.   

I might be able to help out with a 180w SOX ! 

I've been running up my new Tilley table lamp.

Sounds reasonable to me
