When I got home anxious to pull the wheels again (not really, but, the beast isn't gonna let this go anytime soon), there were ambulances in my cul-de-sac, and my first thought was Mom. Fortunately it wasn't mom, but, my neighbor. She'd had another stroke, I think this makes four in the last six months. Apparently this was a bad one and she was in a coma. I stayed near the head of the street with another neighbor mainly to keep out of the way.
They finally got her "stabilized" and off to the hospital. By this time most of her large family was parked in the cul-de-sac, so I parked at the head of the street. And walked down to my house. My neighbor's son (my age) approached me and told me what was going on. He asked if I could take his dad's dog for the rest of the day while the family went to the hospital. Her name is Midge and Harley thinks she is "all that and a bag of chips". I said sure and brought her over to play with Harley. A little while ago, the cul-de-sac started to clear out, so I walked down to put the trike in the garage. The son approached me again and asked if I could keep Midge until around 7 or 7:30pm. I said as long as you need me to keep her. She is a Yorkie, but, she still has a long tail and is a little porker, reminds me of the foot stool dog in "Beauty and the Beast", almost square ... LOL. Guess both Harley and I are into Fat Bottom Girls ... LOL. So I'm not gonna get to the trike the rest of the day.
I'm thinking about adding a 1/4 turn to the springs and putting the clicker thing back to 3 and 3 if the bumpers are back at the bottom. I think I bottomed out three times this morning, but, it may just be the shocks doing their job or I bottomed out in a hard "jolt". The bumpers should tell the story in the morning. If I do adjust the pre load, I will go back to 3 and 3 as a starting point on the clicker. And will not adjust that until the preload allows the bumpers to get close to the bottom, but, not all the way. I'll do this in 1/4 turn increments. Then start playing with the clicker again.
My thought process is by adding a little more pre load and removing some rebound, it will get me the stability I like and the control to give it a good ride. I have also sensed by running the clickers to 4 or 5, the shocks slow down and don't respond as well in the bumps, making the ride less optimal. Guess I'll know after all the tilting.
Please, just don't call me
