air air air and electronic problems
The weekend was plague with mechanical issues.
Friday- All the air leaked out of the car tire at camp
Saturday- All the air leaked out of Shelly's cane creek shock
Sunday. Load up the truck and started it to a battery not charging warning. Goes away at 20 miles per hour. Lost a diode in the alternator. Then beginning of the 2nd lap in the singletrack I ran something over and hit the deck. What the hell happened the tire is flat, pulled out the stick from the tire and hammered on a co2 and the stans did seal the big cut but had only like 20 pounds in the front for 2 laps. That really make fast single track a challenge. This course was really sweet, they do need to cut a few saplings to make more places to pass in the singletrack.
****Just in case you watched our comp start I did not hammer that hard out of the gate to get a big lead like a knob shine. There was a few folks up front slip a pedal and some bars were getting banged in the ditch and I just got away clean. I sat up on the stone road and jumped back on.
Sunday on the way home - We had a tire come apart on the camper and rolled into a rest stop and changed it. We lost about a 1/2's hours time. Then about 40 more miles at the Camp Douglas exit I hit something on the highway and blew another tire on the camper. So I am sitting at bp at 7:00pm on a sunday looking for a tire. Big thanks to Brad Byrge for giving me a lift 40 miles to wally world to buy a spare. It was the right size, but it was the right bolt pattern. So we rolled in the driveway about 11:45 pm.
