I think I remember the 10fwy stopped near Buckeye and then started back up again near Tempe . Buckeye and Good year was nothing but open Desert

 

90% chance of rain this morning. It rained.

20% chance in the afternoon. It's after noon. Monsoon rains.

.2" predicted. We've had 1.55" so far.

I'm bored.

No percentage on how bored.

 

I would rather drive I-5 from San Diego to Bakersfield than drive through Phoenix.

 

Yep, just tipped over. It’s on the side of a hill,in some real soft soil. Most of the trees lean away form the prevailing winds,and it just went. I,m sure it was weakened from recent winds. Once all the frost came out of the ground,TIMBER.

 

Phoenix is looking more and more like Los Angeles lately , way to many toll roads and freeways !!!


LA traffic on the I-5 is insane now , and the 405fwy is just crazy !! . When I'm flying out of LAX the commute from there to my place is only 95 miles . On a light traffic day that would be 1.5 hrs and during rush hour it can be 3-4 hrs plus


Whenever I headed to Bakersfield I use to always take hwy 99 as it was much more direct . Now that I live up in the High Desert it's a much easier drive to Bakersfield . Head up the 15fwy towards Barstow then west on the 58fwy

 

Are you sure you didn’t lose a spring pad or wear it out ?
Check between the leafs to make sure they are all there front and rear.
Make sure they are not cracked.
You can try some lube if you want.
Check your shock bushings and spring perch bushings.
Lube those as well..
Usually lube only lasts for a short time.
You can get more spring pads...

 

We had a detour headed east, but when we came back it was open. That detour was a piece of work also. They took us off the freeway, took a turn or 2 and seen a sign "end of detour". Wtf?! We were 3 blocks in and over and had no clue what was where. Luckily I made a right to get out of traffic to tune in the map and that street led us right back to I-10 past the construction. Next time I'm flying.

Ditto Stopped about 1:00, ribs in, will be eating a little late. Better late than never!

Been through Shamrock a couple times, nice people, nice town. The last time I was in a full service gas station was in Shamrock IIRC, 25+ years ago

 

The two riders are ready to cut grsss. Not sure if I'm ready.


The old Murry rider looks like crap, but it runs good. I use it for cutting trails. Notice the snow blower, not ready to put away just yet.

 

Thanks Mike. I will take another look c after this crappy weather gets gone..

 

Lots of threads on this problem. I ignore it, turn up the radio

 

Crap, I didn’t search it... It just struck me as weird, after a bunch of rain the ole gurl started squeaking like an old porn star pre-lube...
Never had any of this before

 

Nice day here in the High Desert !!!!

 

I'm off one of these days. Guess which one.

 

That would be tomorrow ???

 

At one point people were cutting up inner tubes and and putting them between the springs

 

Of course.

 

looks like you got a good chunk of it done
