Bomb Cyclone!

Screen shot from NPR.org

Bomb Cyclone just sounds cool. It’s one of the better weather-words. It ranks right up there with Polar Vortex.

Anyway as I’m writing this a Bomb Cyclone is laying waste to the country from Denver to Dallas and parts east. Roads closed, flights canceled, planes damaged, etc.

Here in Fruita we’ve been getting a lot of rain and winds gusting to 35 mph. Nothing damaging but it’s keeping me off the bike and the boys in the house

Got a few things fixed and out the door
The burner on the Hotsy stopped working after a few tanks of fuel

I have been busy in the shop this week. Since the Park is getting geared up to greet visitors we have been using equipment to clean the Park and it has been breaking. So far I have resurrected two snow machines from a mouse-infested shed, fixed reverse in a Kawasaki Mule, and changed out 700-pounds of batteries. It seems every time I fix something and get it out of the shop two more things come in to replace it.

Fresh tape on the filler pocket

I have done a little work on Truck 2.0. The fuel filler pocket I fixed with epoxy 20 years ago finally fell apart so I taped it back together with Gorilla Tape (the filler pocket is the space behind the fuel door where the fuel cap is)

I did come here to keep busy so I guess the prophesy has been fulfilled
