Did they need a jump start?
I see it's currently 7F in Golden.

At 6:30 in the morning my neighbours really shouldn't try that...

While camping I was woken at 4:30 by a lion roaring close by. A most efficient wake up call, I assure you. But Bert's bagpipes would be plain heart stopping scary.

I was going to suggest we could ask Eric to see if his aperture is opening and closing properly, but that might be step too far...

I was thinking of a re-sealing, but the aperture closing properly is certainly essential, too.

He's old enough to have a cocking mechanism, isn't he?

Good point. When pushed to the side with the thumb, it should spring back into place... We'll have to get that checked.

With luck they play the bagpipes too? Or perhaps the tuba?
