The weekend ran all over me.  The lack of sleep trying to fix my bus, the frantic shuffle of the cutaway over the weekend, resulting in damage to it, and some rust that i gotta clean up now.  Then Sunday.... everything piled up wiping out that day altogether for me.  I just gave up, and unloaded my broken, scratched up junk back in to the shop, tucked my tail in, and walked away....  :(

Scratched stand, valve cover, muffler.

Shattered endcap on the starter solenoid.

All just a result of trying to toss it around all weekend.  I think I'll go back to building plastic models... much lighter....

Rust on the transaxle internals thanks to the rain.

It can all be fixed, just aggravating.  I was Glad I had help unloading, loading, and shuffling it around all weekend at least.  What a pain.

I don't know why the "Powers to Be" stuck you out in the PawPaw patch to begin with. Damn Shame. :( :(

That was my idea.  ???  Seemed like a good one at the time . . . big pavilion, level concrete floor . . . and I "thought" it would be wired for power by show time.  I also had plans of a big banner to hand on the front of the pavilion and signs pointing the way.  I never stopped to think about rain . . . and mud.  Isn't there a saying about the some road to somewhere being paved with good intentions?  Rick, next time you see me you have my personal permission to kick my butt.   :(

No biggge, fellas... like i said, it's all fixable.  It just seemed like one punch to the face after another, but wasn't anybody's fault.  It was more mother nature's fault than anything.   And I am sure the weather was your fault, Zen....  ;)

 ;D


I am just glad I got back out of the field before being taken into custody by the City of East Ridge for my four-wheeling in the field.   :-[
