hi i have returned from the AMA VMD Swap Meet wet and tired
rained on me for 3 days had fun found some goodies

the RT125 ran great till about 45 miles from the house
then it will not take gas it idles ok just dies when it comes off idle
so we hauled it home with a truck
i don't feel like a carb clean out in the rain when i am 45 miles from the house
so guess i spend sunday in the work shop cleaning the carb

yup those ESBIT stoves are nice got tired of water and pop while waiting
on my son to come with the truck and brewed a pot of tea
even had some ice left from the night before so had sweet iced tea with lunch

ohio highway patrol stopped and i told him truck was on the way
when he smelled the Bush's brown beans and tea he said it was time for him to do lunch
in nelsonville ohio
