Well, glad we didn't trade Alfie in because of it's tire problems because we'd be disappointed. LOL
After a marathon day/week/two weeks we got Kanga all set to go - 2 bikes in, Sue's desk built, nice new cabinet to hold our PGR gear, new chairs and curtains, etc. We finally got on the road at 5:18 last night. Stopped and fueled up and almost arrived at Pontiac (Ill) RV to get some tweaks done on Kanga at 8 AM on Friday am. Yup -you guessed it - just as we turned the corner off the highway onto their street we heard a scaping noise...hmmmm. Can't be a tire problem because the sensor didn't go off. Wrong. Middle tire on left side shredded, sensor gone, and we're scraping the bare metal on the pavement. Egads. This is the tire from he** I guess. It is the one which was so low that that they had to air it up before we left Pontiac when we picked Kanga up, caused us the $195 bill for fixing (valve stem problem) on the way home with her. So grateful we were off the highway as it was very cold, windy and dark by then. Limped into their parking area and will deal with it today along with the leaking toilet and resulting floor damage in the bathroom (which they "fixed" before we picked it up; the leak on the dining room slide (found when we had the blowing rain a week ago), and the fantastic fan in the garage which doesn't work.
Hope to have the repairs done early afternoon so we can get to cuz Rick's home near St. Louis at a decent hour tonight. Will spend Jerry's birthday there tomorrow and probably head further south on Sunday. LIG
