I went out to see the guy "pull" Murray today, but, of course the
job in front of us is taking longer than expected and he wasn't
ready. Since the initial shock of crashing into a tree HARD has
subsided, I can rationally look at what happened. I examined him and
made repairs. This is the evidence from the scene.
Seconds before I struck the bus killing tree I had put in the clutch
for the pop start. The pedal was pushed down to the floor where it
was trapped by the bottom edge of the kick panel, since this has
never happened before, I couldn't react to it, so now I have no
clutch and I am picking up speed. Then I pushed on the brake pedal
and one of the pistons in the brake cylinder on the rear passenger
side bent and allowed all the brake fluid out, so I have no brakes.
Now I am really picking up speed. Murray meet Mr. Tree.
I freed up the clutch pedal, pinched off the brake line to the rear
passenger wheel, was surprised to find that he wouldn't start.
Talking to Dan on the phone he reminded me that all this had
happened because I had drained my battery listening to the radio. Duh.
I threw a quick charge on the battery and he started right up. I
drove him off the trailer and around the tiny block and put him in
front of a service bay. Then like an idiot, I went home his keys in
my pocket. I am off to take his keys to him.
All of this is taking time off of my Psycoblooie preparations.
People may just have to do without some stuff. No zip line.
It's 82 with 51% humidity. Very very green from all the rain. There
is a small chance for rain on Friday. But it rained last year for a
while, and I don' think anybody noticed.
