Houston we have hard dock, over. Still fighting a slight problem with the aft burner. the spokes i fear are, as the mechanic noted a few days ago, inadequate to see wounded duck all the way back to home port. unfortunately the next available station to replace the thin guage wire is in kentucky... about 400 miles away. managed to get into the local library today to print off a quick and dirty wheel truing guide that will hopefully keep the nag in business until kentucky. it's not west texas tire technology but improvising is what we do. stand by houston for todays hard count:
mileage: 48
time: 3:52
cows that came up to the fence to say hello: 9
class reunions in aliceville: 2
funeral processions encountered: 1
distance a kid named jamal rode a wheelie in the motel parking lot on his sisters purple bike: 30 meters (impressive).
Tomorrow's target: aberdeen, ms about 72 miles.
again looking to be out before the sun for temps will have an extra coat of tobasco to spicen things up - duck out.
