and we cancelled our reservations in Laughlin so will hang around here for the Christmas weekend. Invited out for dinner tomorrow and then nothing else planned.
Ongoing story of Rhino............man said he would have the turn signals and stator installed around noon today. We drove down and they were just cleaning it up. Mechanic drove it around the general area of the shop and then discovered some gas coming out of the carb overflow tube. He pulled it apart, cleaned it out and gas stopped flowing. I paid him and headed down the street with Becky following me. Probably made it about 10 blocks and it fell flat on it's face again and I was on a busy street. Good thing Becky was behind me in the Suzy............if not I'd probably been run over by an 18 wheeler. Sputtered back to the M/C shop. Installed a new in-line fuel filter and then we checked the CDI box...........one set of the wiring harness connectors was black and burned. No wonder it wasn't running right! Well, now gotta replace the CDI box and hopefully can replace just the portion of the harness that was burned. They still have the Rhino and will order parts needed............oh yeah, the person who was giving it the test runs (I think it was the shop owner) wasn't using the seat belts so the driver side seat belt had slipped down behind the seat and it had gotten fried by the hot exhaust. He's going to replace the belt. And so it goes.............may get it running someday.
Nothing left to do so we headed to the casino again............I managed to leave with $46.00 of their money so we stopped for Chinese on the way home.
Still COLD at night and not expected to get much higher than 63 or so for the next week. Don't think we can get much further South to search for warmer temperatures.
That's it for now.............wishing everyone a "Merry Christmas". Wayne & Becky
