Well... Not a build update, but it's what happened.
Something happened with the air filter, maybe I didn't tighten it up enough, or maybe it just vibrated loose. It fell off and I ran it over. Luckily it happened in the parking lot, so I was going like 5 mph when I ran over it. I picked it up, and it looked pitiful. But I knew I had to have an air filter. So I bent it back to shape the best I could, cutting my finger in the process. I was able to at least get it back to shape enough to slide it back on the piping. Then I clamped it on really tight. Hopefully it lasts until I can pick up another one. I'm glad I chose the one with metal reinforcement, otherwise I would've been without a filter. That thing really is tough. I ran over it twice, once going forward, and once backing up to see what I hit.
