With the MASSIVE amount of rain we are getting here in Central Texas... I decided to "cheat" and let the weather wash the test mule... I parked it with the kickstand on a wide flat rock... and went back to cleaning and organizing the shop. At the end of the evening, I closed everything up, and went back to the house to get some dinner and sleep...
Then, the next morning... I come out and find... THIS!
The rain had softened the ground enough that the rock sank down into the mud, and PLOP over it went. Son of a *#&$@!!!!!
Had the wife come help me right it. Old man back don't tolerate hurking things like the RC back up to wheels side down... especially when one is still recovering from being broadsided by an armored truck 9 months previously.
Damage: Just a bent clutch lever. At least there's ONE advantage to flopping over into the mud.
Oh well. At least the rainwater collection system is overflowing.
