To become a full cowboy or cowgirl one needs to loose all their marbles. Each applicant starts with a mouth full of marbles. Each time the prospect rides a bucking bronco or bull and falls off. They spit one marble out. When they’ve lost all their marbles the certificate is awarded. Honestly the toughest people on the planet.
now I can see the bats.
 
Purple.

According to an empower yourself with colors site:

Purple is associated with imagination, spirituality, and royalty. It symbolizes luxury, ambition, and self-assurance, while also promoting mental balance and emotional stability.

I think it combines well with dark brass. Not flashy and adding some silent dignity.

@1mm are you planning on springing a 747 jumbo jet 🤯
They are leftover bits from some reed valves someone asked me to make for an ancient 'Bollinder' 2-stroke hot-bulb diesel engine - it has crank-case air induction just like a 2-stroke bike (but air only - fuel is injected at about BDC and then kind-of fizzles on the bulb until compression arrives and it really starts to burn). Maybe I'll use the offcuts. Maybe I'll use something of the 'right' thickness culled from a rusty set of unreadable feeler gauges - this comes to mind as this source served to fix a governor in a wind-up gramophone, not so long ago!
