I was on my way to Saddlebrook for a 45 mile route when I had a flat. Changed out the tube, attached the pump, brought the PSI to an acceptable level, unscrewed from the nozzle and all the air released from the tube…wtf!?!? While unscrewing the pump from the nozzle, an internal pin came out.
The only solution was to repump the tire and then separate the body of the pump from whatever the piece shown above is called. This kept the air in the tire and if I kept my speed under 12mph, the pump piece stayed between the spokes so made it to a bike shop.
Gorgeous sunrise as I tried to digest a forecast, predicting 5-6″ of rain over a couple of days. Two tropical systems were headed our way, a very unusual event.
As the day approached for the rain to begin, forecasters backed off the rain amount but it was three days of wonderful rain, totaling 2″ for my neck of the woods. Higher elsewhere, lower too.
Making sure my neighbors know I’m a Buckeye fan!
A third day of rain and my emotion from witnessing the event…..
….this.
Of course, the clouds and rain produced great images.
It appeared rain finally moved through so I visited Sabino Canyon for a hike. Unbeknownst to me, rain had reformed and hit me, resulting in a good soaking. Couldn’t remember when last that occurred!
