Tiny Tuesday Trek

APRS Tracking of the Trike Today
I worked on the trike this morning while Jacque was gone to her sewing club.  I removed the wheel with the horribly flat tire:

The fine fellow we purchased the trike from had thrown in 3 or 4 extra tires with the trike along with 3 new inner tubes.  We have used up all the tubes, so I patched this one, and it seemed to hold OK.  The existing tire was very thin and light duty so I replaced it with one of the spares that had thicker sidewalls and tread in hopes it would ward off thorns in the future. 
Later this afternoon I suggested we should take the trike out again so as to make sure it still worked OK, so we did.
We have decided never to ride off road again with this trike:  It is too valuable, and not a good off road or rough road vehicle.  We haven't had much trouble with its low clearance undercarriage, but the strain on the chain, gears, and tires, just seems too much to deal with, not to mention the lack of traction the single rear wheel exhibits when climbing grades on sand, rocks, and gravel.
SO.  This trip down our rocky goat path is the last we plan to make with the trike.  It will have to ride on the roof rack of Jacque's exploder over unpaved territory henceforth.  We made it back home from the Post Office, just barely, and nothing broke or went flat, so we're happy campers.
