Thanks all for the congrats on our ham tech license. Steve, I might continue for general. It was kind of cool to go back to " school" after 30 years and pass an exam. May be I am getting my second wind.
First a roof picture of skoolie palooza.
Second of our youngest turning seven and found a "hidden" present in Dory's mouth.
Today was a wild day. We wanted to bike to a yellow water tank that was visible against the mountain. It was a rocky trip. We stopped every 10 minutes to let the dog drink. Did not look that far but it was still 5 miles one way and it was neat of road biking.
Rosie and we all were happy to be back without flats or injury.
After that we packed up we left for Yuma . 20 miles on az95 we hear a loud bang and indeed a tire had come of.
Took out quit a bit of metal and fender. It turned out that in the hurry to get on the road I had taken the key out of the contact and at the first curve the front wheels locked under an angle. 20 miles later the passenger side exploded. The driver was badly damaged. Had to use the angle grinder to cut sections of metal out of the way to get the spare to run freely.
In Yuma we found a Sams and replaced both the front tires. $125. They had 8d batteries for $199 as well. Decided to do both. The old ones tested good but somehow they did not accept charge very well. Will see if the new ones make a difference.
Anyhow it was an expensive day that could have gone a lot worse. Lessons were taught. Now see if we learned something.
Yes we plan to come back to state college.
