Mail Run, Again, Again

Tracking Same Old Same Old APRS
We enjoy riding the trike even for short rides and this is a long tiring pull up Westbound Frost Road from our turnoff to the Post Office.
This trip, I ran low on blood glucose and had to consume 2 choc-chip oatmeal energy bars to stay afloat.  On the way out, we began noticing an irritating scratching sound as the rear wheel went round and round and, after several frustrating investigations on hands and knees, found a goat-head sticker in the tire, rubbing the inside of the fender with each rotation.  It doubtlessly would have rubbed off without too much more delay but it was nice to find and remove it, eliminating the nasty noise.
