This morning we tried to find the source of the clunk in the black tandem's drive train. I removed the eccentric and reinstalled it. I also replaced the chain since I just added a new cog and had those new chain rings. Didn't fix it. I still have a clunk each time the crank goes around. The next step will be bottom bracket removal and inspection. That means I have to have a bottom bracket tool and wrench. I should have purchased one of those tool sets with a stand. I had the unit in my hand but without a load on it, everything seemed fine. I might replace the front bb and find it is actually the rear. Then I'd have replaced both.
It will be cold tomorrow morning. Just like Easter to have a cold snap. Since I am off, Bev and I can take an afternoon ride instead. The club rides to Sycamore have resumed so that may be our chance to get in a few miles. I should be making a do list for this week. It may be too chilly to do the washing work I had planned. That would leave grass mowing and some cleanup jobs. I have been wanting to use the boat since last year but if it isn't warm...
I also will have to see about my teeth. I don't know whether to see Dr. Currie first or Dr. Roberts. All I know is this pain has to go. We will probably get David tomorrow. If he comes home with us, I'll either take him hiking or take the canoe out on Lake Virginia. Time for another adventure.
