On the techie side, one of those rechargeable battery bricks that you can charge your phone from.

I have a long in the tooth O320 E2D with 1900 hrs SMOH that is running like a champ. All compressions mid 70’s or better, 71 psi in cruise, 54 at idle. Uses a quart of oil ever 6-7 hrs. Up until now, after a few hours, less than 5 shall we say, the oil would start to darken. Nothing major...
