Are we having fun yet? Today has been dedicated to getting new MP tires. There are 2 tire stores in town, only 1 of them had 6 tires in the size we needed. That store was slammed with business. A good portion of our effort today was dedicated to wasting time while waiting for our turn. We drove around. I bought a new bike and booked a bike tour for tomorrow. Jenny bought me a birthday present. We visited the state run liquor store. There was chai tea and a smoothie. A 30 mile drive for lunch at a resort on the Colorado river and a wine tasting. It's 2:20 and we are back in the waiting "lounge" of the tire store. The tires are installed but they promised to look at the wheel well damage. They forgot and that is being looked at now. Epilogue: The fix I made with zip ties has now been reinforced with wire. The hole in the wall of the MP has been filled with copious amounts of foam and bubble wrap and sealed with yards of gorilla duct tape. Driving in the rain will be the the ultimate test of my Rube Goldberg fix. If it fails, water will spray off the tires and into the livingroom. We are here 1 more day.
Really beginning to look bad for money pit, maybe instead of buying a bike you should have bought a new mp!
