Today's Spotty Tracking
I had to haul some stuff to a neighbor's house this morning. We are down to a single automobile. We gave away our 1998 Exploder to a friend in a nearby town and at the same time discovered Jacque's Subaru needed money poured into it for repairs. So until the Subaru gets out of the shop, we are sharing a single Ford Exploder, and Jacque took it today to do some work with one of her buddies. I needed to haul some electrical repair stuff, soldering iron, wire, lugs, toolbox, etc, and it was to a place I normally ride past on my usual 10-mile loop ride, so instead of putting Doggies in the cargo basket I put in the ...... Cargo.
I jury rigged a broken starter connection for a Briggs & Stratton powered lawn tractor and this little project took almost an hour. I used some high quality epoxy to replace a broken connector bushing and insulator, and left it to cure while I rode home to make an appointment in Albuquerque.
On the trip over, I locked up my chain again downshifting too far, causing a sudden stop to manually release and remount the chain on its sprocket. Gotta figure out a way to prevent this, it could easily break something.....
The weather has been cooling a bit but it was over 10 degrees warmer today than it has been the last few days. Still, the breeze was a bit stiff in the face but it provided nice cooling as I rode over and back.
Tinkerbell was highly put out that I left her behind. Lilly has not started enjoying bike rides yet so she didn't care a bit.......
