Tire repair
I started the day by taking off my dirt bike tire on my 140 as yesterday, I got a flat front tire while I was out riding. I rounded up all the tools and got the tire apart and found the leak in the tube, but I don’t have anything to patch the tube so that was all I got done on that today. I plan to order up a new tube later.
Chainsaw repair
I also worked on getting the new coil module installed in the chainsaw. I got it put on, but with the bright sun shining, I couldn’t see if the spark was getting to the spark plug, so I left it for later in the evening to check out the spark. I checked it again in the evening and it had spark, so I left it for another day to put it all back together.
Forest ride
I didn’t know what to do for the rest of the day, so I decided to go on up into the hills and check some stuff on the old dirt road I’ll need to do.
I need to make all the water crossings better so cars can cross them easier, so I studied the one crossing that works well so I can duplicate it on all the other crossings.
I rode around some, just enjoying the day and then went on down the hill and out through this gate.
And rode down into the state park and on home.
Nice day.
Hi Bob, you advised previously that plastic tile for the road drains wasn’t desirable due to burning up in the recent forest fire. So perhaps use just for now & relatively easy to replace in the event of another fire [hopefuilly not]. Should drain the roadways & make your maintenance a lot less & allow the vehicles to run over easier too.Just a thought ,lol.All the best.
Well, that’s not going to happen because I have no bugget for this project. However, I do have a solution that I will use. I’ve just been waiting for the rains to slow down a bit and I think they have. I have one crossing that is better than what I’ve been using. I just need to duplicate it and replace all the other ones with it. I haven’t been able to do that as the rains have been keeping the road bed too wet and those car tires have only messed stuff up even more. the crossing I will use is made so the driver hardly realizes he just ran over a ditch and this method seems to keep the water from running down the road much better.
Stay tuned and I’l see if I can replace all the crossing with this method.
Bob
