We did it!


We broke the gravitational pull of the Denver Repair Shop. We blasted out of orbit and landed 140 miles north in Wheatland, Wyoming.

Nice visit with Bill and Marge (of course). The farm looks the same.





It always feels good.






Tomorrow, more miles. A little farther north, then southeast through Nebraska (Scottsbluff and such), then south, back into Colorado, through Julesburg, Holyoke, and Wray, to stop at Bonny Lake State Park for the night.



The new motor is running strong, but with an intermittent shudder at cruising speed. I don’t think the engine and transmission are communicating as well as they should. I suspect we’re just missing a downshift point and lugging a bit on slight inclines. A manual downshift resolves it. No surprise that there is something to tweak. I suspect an adjustment will smooth it out when we get back to Denver.
