David is too modest. Even while dealing with the blown hose, blown hatch
strut, and bloodletting, he has been patiently rebuilding and
calibrating a temp gauge for Mellow Yellow, adding in the process a kool
modifikation which will activate a buzzer if the temp light comes on and
I don't notice.

He has wizardly powers.
