Alignment and finally clearing my check engine light (evap code from a bad purge valve.... hopefully)

The "Whatcha Doin Today" Thread
I assume that many members here are doing lots of small, but interesting things throughout the days.
While those things might not warrant a 1000 page thread I thought it would be fun to have a thread that people could post the small things.
Be it a job done on a bike, or car, or just something fun you did.
Me?
I took the CB1100F for a state inspection.
Also waxed it, adjusted the timing chain, and a few small squawks that it had.

What did you guys do over the weekend?

Did some fiberglass repair and prepwork on my spare Rickman 1/2 fairing and Z1 frame bracket.
Any suggestions on color? my full rickman fairing is painted dark grey (on a navy blue bike) and I may want to change things up... I'm thinking blood red?
Otherwise I may just get it all cleaned up and sell it.

I'm halfway through a guest OCT rotation at JRTC in Fort Polk, LA. I came here to grade/mentor a Sapper Company... Instead I get stuck with a company of Ohio Nat Guard horizontal construction engineers... FML.
In the mean time I've been calling up UXOs I keep finding around their camp.

So 531 miles after the engine rebuild, I changed the Z1's oil. I'd been noticing a weird and annoying buzzing/vibration coming from the megaphone, so I investigated today...

baffles were pretty tired.
I took them out and am going to try running just the endcap on the kerker, here's some sound clips:
With old baffles:
I'll take it on a few rides to see if there's any noticable flat spots in the RPM range, but I'm digging the sound. The baffled kerker just sounded way too tame, not like what you hear on the track.

So i decided I'd take a last minute week of leave before my work schedule gets crazy. Took the time to do all sorts of fun stuff.
Finished the work bench. Just need to install the locks on the cabinets.

Breakfast in the backyard
Just returned from taking my Company on a 10 day field exercise. The focus was how vertical construction engineers can contribute to the 48 hour defense... highlight was using chainsaws and a BHL to create abatis from "trees" (telephone poles).

completed Abatis with vehicle ditch on either side

stage 4 fighting position... real world would include far more earth on roof
Vertical guys really don't get to do the sexy stuff like the Sappers or dozer driver, so I tried to organize this training event around getting them more tactical training.

Re torqued my valve covers on the z1 to see if I could get them to stop weeping.
I also took a look at my plugs, I've been getting some popping on deceleration after taking the baffles out of the megaphone. They look a bit lean to me...

Mind you, this is after normal riding, no plug chop
