Dang it, again!

I missed my appointment today. I did get the trash out, changed litter, and did a few other things. But I simply could not get going and it ended up that the chores were done late. I then could not cool down to sleep, which I simply could not skip this time. I did set the alarm but might as well not have. Waking at 8:00, far too late to make a two hour drive and far too out of things to do so even if the drive was shorter, I went back to bed until noon or so. I will call and figure things out shortly.

And it is already becoming too late to take the bike in. So, I will tinker with it today. D.C. has been offering advice on it. The thing is, this bike is not standard. Some of it makes sense, like not using the top bolt on the handle bars. I know that from having had to install it. The top bolt loosens the front tire shaft from the handle bars. But there are two bolts on the column instead of one. Now, in this instance, the advice makes sense because I know. In others, what does what, where it is, how it works, is all unknown. I keep tinkering though. Dratted thing. Then again, the reason I wanted to try this, assembling it myself, was to learn. And, if slowly and painfully, I am learning. *grins* I love pestering you all. But I really like pestering myself too. Thing is, I need to get this bike up and running, so tomorrow I will get that bike in if it kills me (assuming I don't somehow get it going today). Well, maybe even then to have it checked out.

I will let you know some of the answers (why the "w" in answer... just... aking) to some of your questions, D.C. I hadn't been able to get to working on the bike and didn't know when you queried. I will know later today. About the swing arm, and some other things.

Well, have a great day anyway. I will try. Hey, it's the first appointment I actually missed without calling in six months or a year (uhrm, with a few oddities excluded... not misses, just... reconsiderations or such). Good day.
