Finished driving to CT today, and made it for the rehearsal.





Day of driving. Left at around 4:00 am, and arrived in Bainbridge, PA at around 6-7:00?
I went to spend some time with Jamie, Chris, Sarah, Josh, Teresa, Paige, Sally, Ian, Bob, Valerie, Doug and Audre. But I didn’t get pictures of them all… probably because not everyone had a cow. I’m not sure why.
Worked on the dyno today (re-packaging things to help get it out of the wind.) The idea was that I’d get better mileage on the way home. I don’t think it did much to help, though it might have.
After, I took some shots / videos of Dwight planting sweet corn with his 4020.
Left Mike’s at around 6:30, heading to Monroe, WI to pick up a dyno for Dr. Dyno. All in all, things went well. I had to take the front of the trailer that the dyno was on to a local welding shop (Davis Welding—the “only” pigeon racing trailer manufacturing company in the USA—they were very busy but dropped things to help me out for which I was very thankful!) to have the tongue lowered for towing behind my car (you’ll see pictures tomorrow). They dyno towed well, though I did feel it for sure (it was about 1,600 pounds.) Made it to Grandma’s with no problems.
Drove down to Madison to spend the night at Mike’s. Great day to drive, and it was only about 8-9 hours today, which was refreshing.
