A few things
Jul. 30th, 2024 08:51 amI haven't posted for a couple of weeks.
The big thing in there was Berzerker. I drove north on Monday with the GT trailer. Taking it slow for the sake of MPG, I got about 13.4 MPG on the way up which is actually good; at normal speeds it's more like 10.5.
I took the trailer out on Tuesday but just left it there since there was nobody to help with the water setup. The whole week was kind of shifted out a day because water setup didn't happen until Wednesday. Then things went pretty well. The shower had a LOT of work done on it by Hasler and it worked quite well. The flow meter failed so we had to use manual mode but that was OK.
The rocket engines were OK, performed as well as I could have hoped, but I've seen a few variations on sugar rockets on YT and may try some of those next year. I left the arbor press up north in the trailer.
The trailer was a FANTASTIC idea - packup went amazingly well and we were packed and out by 10:30 in the morning. The pipe storage suggested by Matt was a huge win.
Yesterday I went to Chicago for an out and back to Dave Ihnat's memorial thing. A lot of friends were there and it was a good memorial.
My planned ride failed due to C19 so I motorcycled across, which was my plan anyway before I found a ride. Thankfully I found a new seat for the Yamaha last week and it was fine for the longer trip. The stock seat is not great after about 2 hours.
The win on the seat is a good sign since when I do some longer distance trips, that's almost certainly the bike I'll use. I don't think there's anything else coming up this year that involves more than maybe 3 hours on the bike at a time, nothing planned anyway.
