27 Miles and We're Tired

Today's APRS/GPS Track
Jacque and I had a lunch date with Paul N5DBB today so we saddled up and rode the trike over to Edgewood for the meal at the  East Mountain Grill.
Jacque's salmon salad was unpleasant to the taste so she asked for another dish to replace it.  Paul and I enjoyed our meals with gusto.  I had the Taco Salad, which hit the spot.
When we left the restaurant several visitors ooohed and aaahhhed over the trike and, of course, Tinkerbell.  Several watched us as we kitted up, put on our helmets, plugged in the electronics, and rode away.  We didn't make it out of the parking lot before noticing a wierd grungy sound from  behind Jacque, which turned out to be ANOTHER FLAT, this time on the rear.  This tire received a new tube only last week, and upon disassembly, no leak could be detected.  HOWEVER - This time we had Tire Slime in the panniers and we weren't afraid to use it.  I squirted almost half the bottle into the offending tube, double checked the tire for any splines or thorns or other sharp objects, and inflated it with my next to last CO2 cartridge.  We reassembled the trike, repacked everything, and resumed our ride.  Jacque had committed to helping a friend work on her new computerized knitting machine, so we rode to her home in southern Edgewood and spent a half hour or so poking around in the complex machine.  Then we started the even more tiring journey home.
Evidently the tire slime was working because we experienced no further tire troubles.  The weather was deteriorating rapidly and we wondered if we would get rained on before we got home, but the darkening skies held off and we made it back to the parked vehicle unscathed and unsoaked.
We are MAYBE a bit over tired tonight.  Of course, what we planned to be an early afternoon return home turned out to be almost all day and we had a half hour of daylight left when we got back.  But, Hey, a bad day on the trike under our own power beats a lot of other so called good days.
