What a day!!
Left Laramie at 6.30am and 20 minutes later hit the worst fog for a long time. A real pea souper and low, so we couldn't see too far in front of us. Stop and put wet weather jackets on ...... Real cold too. Stays like this for hours.
Then just short of North Platte I lose cruise control. Talk to AL on intercom, and he tells me I have no rear lights. Pull on brakes, no lights, and none for indicators either. Pull into side of gas station and Alan starts checking things in fuse box and wiring under seat. Keep blowing the brake fuse every time he tries something. Decide to leave it and go to H D dealer. I head into the restroom and when I return to the trike AL asks if I have another fuse. He has an idea he thinks he knows what is the problem.
Hey Presto! All good.. Everything works. The problem-- the trailer connection had dropped down and wires touching hitch and shorting things out.
Glad my man has so much knowledge, and that he is my mechanic
Finally got to Lincoln, NE around 6pm. Final leg to Galena tomorrow
Oops, forgot....when we pulled up at gas station Alan found that the rough roads had cost me my parade fans! One whole side gone. That's the fan, and two horn bracket repairs to U.S. roads
