The Wanderings of busman7

Getting back to the immediate problem of the blown tire (tires all looked good, haven’t had a flat in yrs so no spare) that would take the Scout on to his shop http://www.larosesinc.com   in http://www.villageofenosburgfalls.org where he would order (odd size tires) first thing in the morning & I would find a ride over there in the morning.

Turned out that the owner of   was going over to Enosburg in the morning & would give me a ride about 10 am.

First on the agenda in the morning was a walk down to the Laundromat,  then a ride to the Scout where the tire had just come in. Had the tire changed (cords had gone squirrely causing it to self-destruct) hat the gas tank leak checked (fuel gauge not installed properly) decided to carry on with not filling, had the brakes bled which cured the small problem with them.

Headed out about 2 pm with all going fine until about 6 pm when a shimmy started in the front again (Oh Shit, knew I should have ordered 2 tires) was close to the http://www.lakegeorgechamber.com/Home.aspx so got off I-87 & found a motel (can’t remember the name) got a room for the night. The next morning the manager led me a few miles down the state highway 9 to Queenston where we found a new tire the right size (different name but identical tread to the one I had bought in Enosburg) at http://queensburytireinc.com

  An hour later We’re back on I-87 southbound heading for Saratoga Springs & the State Hwy #29, a shortcut to I-90 W bypassing Albany/Schenectady.

An uneventful day where I figured out the gas gauge, drive 2 hrs the gauge says 1/2, put in $20, no leaks. Fuel mileage was $10 per hr :). At a fuel stop a guy comes up to checkout the Scout, turned out he was from Vermont & heading for the Nationals also. He had a hard time believing that I was traveling to Ohio From Toronto via Quebec :). Hit Erie PA about suppertime, Spied a Red Roof Inn http://www.redroofinn.com/property/Erie/PA/16509/-/RR1054 behind a  Mickey Dees so pulled in & crashed for the night.
