Where are we?

I was looking at the trail maps this evening and was wondering if we have ridden Pinnacle Creek. The others seemed familiar but I don't remember PC. Rich

The changes I had previously made to the counter have been modified to only take effect when we are one day away. During the process of fixing a bug that Big A pointed out to me, the counter caused me a splitting headache, and I can't stomach the thought of seeing it for three days straight. Disclaimer: changing the counter has nothing to do with sympathy towards others and how the counter might affect their brains, it is simply a matter of self preservation. Nothing more, nothing less.

Getting Ready

Well, I started getting my machine ready. Cleaned out the Garage, changed the plug, and charged the battery. Then I nearly killed the battery trying to get it to start but no luck. Opened up the airbox and pulled out a REALLY NASTY air filter, then cleaned out the giant possum nest. Got it to run briefly by spraying starter fluid directly into the carb, but as soon as it runs out of starter fluid it dies again. Conclusion: probably time to clean out the carb. I suppose it could be just bad gas, but my gut tells me it's the carb.
