I am not that far from the Blue Ridge and I know where Cruso is. Where will you all be at and when?

Yep MMRanch, I got your phone number.

Forwarded it along to Toymaker so he can find us when he gets into the area on Wednesday. He still hasn't replied if he is really coming or not. We are assuming cell phone service exists around these little towns like Cruso .... and we all know what assuming gets us, don't we?

======================

Lancer, got the new Dunlop Cruisemax tire mounted on the rim with a brand new tube inside it -- balanced and jest sitting there awaiting the arrival of the new rear axle so I can mount her up and speed test her for vibrations (if any).

Unless the new tube goes flat over night (due to a pinched tube) then we are good to go on next Tuesday. Worst case would be the mail carrier doesn't deliver the new axle in which case I would file the threads on the old one a bit, put some never-seize on on the threads and simply reuse both it and the old nut using a little extra grunt to put it together.

(It would likely seize up again when tightened up hard, but that's OK -- it wouldn't be coming off for a year and a bit anyway.

I get off work at 6:00 AM Wednesday, get into the truck (and I go to sleep) and he drives up to Cruso by noonish-oneish.
