Ho-Hum, Another 10 Miles

Very Unsatisfactory Tracking Today

I finally scrounged up enough money to bail our RV out of hock at the repair shop today.  What with a rebuilt Factory Ford engine and the labor costing more than the engine and associated parts, it made a big dent in our piggy bank, let me tell you.
The new engine runs great and runs about half as high on the temperature guage as the cooked engine just replaced.  I drove into Albuquerque to fill up the fuel tank and see how it would run, and everything seemed OK.  The mechanic told me the radiator seemed to have a minor leak and that I should keep a close watch on it.  This radiator was cleaned and refurbished with new tank gaskets a couple weeks prior to the engine being replaced.  It appears I will have to remove it again, take it back to the radiator shoppe, and if they cannot find or fix the problem, I'll have to throw another few hundred into this bottomless money-pit for a new radiator.  BAH
By the time the RV was safely home again time was running short, as usual.  We had a meeting to attend at 7 PM, meaning we had to leave the house around 6 PM, and it was a little after 3 PM when I quickly saddled up the bike for a quick pulse-elevating ride.  I just did our currently favorite route: East on Frost Road to Mountain Valley, north to Entranosa Road, west to Tumbleweed, back south to Frost Road, and then back home.  Just enough hills to keep it interesting.
