I can see why, that rig has as many wheels as a locomotive!

I have never seen three axles in the back of a coach like that, but I don't get out much.

Sorry for little reporting today, turned out to be a busier "off" day than expected. Changed the oil and spark plugs this morning, no biggie, help Randy Larson get unloaded and swap tires, take some video and pics of Scotty's school... Started test n'tune at 5pm. I run Myron, .024 to his .000 off the trailer, but I told him he lost since he crossed the starting line on the burnout.

-.003 red second hit, then decide I'm going to try to adjust the right rear brake, as its been dragging. Took forever just to get the hub off the brakes were so tight. Adjust a ton and... Nothing! Turns out the wheel cylinder is frozen up. Eventually got a ride to town with Myron, and the Autozone had 2 in stock! With some adult supervision from Chip and John Boyer, I got it changed out, and Boyer provided the big heavy foot to help bleed the brakes. Still managed to get in three more test runs, Might've picked up a few, but not as much as I'd expect. I was happy with the last run and called it a night... All of which meant I missed Connie's cookin'. ;-(
