Weather has been great the past several days.
Saturday morning there was a car show at the campground, 30-35 cars and trucks.
This was the smallest car in the show. It was actually an entry.
The truck on the left is the one I saw at Johnny's Hardware a week ago
In the afternoon I regened the softener and dumped and flushed tanks, as well as spent time sitting outside enjoying the weather.
Sunday it was off to Cowboy Church. Kathy wasn't feeling well so she stayed home. Chris & Tracy were gone. Mike Leichner provided most of the music and delivered a good message. https://mikeleichner.com/
I've mentioned previously how the used bike I bought has provided me with hours of "entertainment", working on it. One of our neighbor ladies saw me working on it and asked if I would consider putting new tires on another neighbor lady's (a widow) three wheeler. The back tires were shot and would no longer hold air. I put them on in the afternoon, while keeping track of both KC's & the Lions football games. The tubes she bought were "pre-treated" with Slime. She said the two tires and "pre-Slimed" tubes cost her almost $100, FOR BICYCLE TIRES. Once I got them together and put a little air in them the stems were really crooked in the rims. I couldn't find my tool to remove the cores so that I could let the air out and straighten up the stems.
Monday - We went to the 9:30 information meeting at the clubhouse. A couple of guys said they would check to see if they had valve core removal tools with them, everybody had one at home. One guy brought one of the nice Tee shaped ones over but the skewed valve stems were so close to the spokes that I couldn't get the cores out. A trip to Johnny's Hardware to get a straight core removal tool solved the problem. I had to actually take the tire partially off the rim before I could rotate it enough to straighten the stem. Anyway, done now, delivered and the lady is happy. She has had to start working part time because of financial issues after her husband's death. She asked me for suggestions about removing some rust from the bike since it has to last her. I lubed the chain and cables while I had it. I'm going to look at it tomorrow and see what I can do about the rust.
Kathy spent a couple of hours this morning and afternoon over at the clubhouse, working on the current puzzle.
I came to the conclusion that the derailleur support on the frame of my bike had somehow been bent and that was why I was having so much trouble adjusting the shifting. I bent the support back to where I thought if should be and rode it 7 miles this afternoon. It still isn't perfect but its better. I have hope that I can finally get it adjusted so that it shifts even better.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has certainly blessed me.
