broken bolts

had another bolt fail on the trailer this morning, on the bike path... the whole trailer shifted suddenly and the "parking" brake thingy was rubbing on the wheel... i look back and notice the lower bolt hanging 1/2 way out. shit... i was able to make a repair. We'll see. it worked getting the rest of the way here. Should make it home okay i think. But. It is going to be a pain. It isn't just a broken bolt but a bit more than that. The aluminum frame has been eaten a bit by the threads on the crappy steel bolt (lowest grade, cheap ass trailer makers - hell can't ya use a decent grade bolt for this shit?). Second bolt i've lost.

on the bright side? It didn't rain. I didn't crash yesterday. I was able to have a few words with Yogurt boy Cronoman and Solobreak. KL seemed a bit pre-occupied (she's like a pro and stuff), Rebbecca W was all smiles when i waved.

Timmieeeeee said something that i'm taking to be one of those double meaning phrases. "Just sit in, you'll be fine." Means: You are Fucked, no chance in hell do you have of finishing with the group.

that's it for now... gotta see about making this trailer last at least two more years...
