Subject: Breakage

Well, we had the first, potentially fatal breakdown in the wilds of Webster County this weekend (The breakdown itself was not fatal, but being alone in the wilds of Webster County after dark could very well be).

Lee's wheel/axle decided that it was going to leave the band and do a solo project. Fortunately, we figgered this out and stopped Lee before he engaged the "differential parking brake", whereby one drops the vehicle directly on the differential, stopping the truck instantly.

Speaking of stopping instantly, that happened later when the gears in Lee's differential became jealous of the tire's attempt at a solo project, and it too decided it was time to leave the band.

Fortunately, it was stopped when it became wedged between the rear differential cover, and, well, the rear differential cover, now perforated neatly by a protruding gear.

Apparently, the gear had second thoughts about leaving, and, feeling guilty, went back to work, turning away even as Lee backed up into the driveway.

And we all lived happily ever after.

Video will be posted sometime after Debtmas.

Bye.
