Listen to the airplane

With what I consider the hardest part of the rewiring job over, it was time to turn to easier ones. I only had a day before I had to leave on my next trip, so I wanted to just go in and look at some wiring that had perplexed me on the right side of the nose. Put the kettle on, turned on a little Enya, and I had full intention of working on those puzzling wires, but instead, like a cat trying to show you exactly where to scratch them behind the ears, the airplane drew me to the left side of the avionics compartment, and I spent some time rerunning some wires to the master solenoid.




In a very mellow frame of mind, and having moved on to some new Willie Nelson, I took a look at those wires.



and came up with a simple solution. Had to stop there and go to work, but it's waiting for me, and I patted Osp on the nose before I left, and thanked her. 


Sometimes, the airplane leads you where and when you need to go.
