6 days...6days..it's coming up too fast ;)

I can't believe the cruise is less than a week away. Time to get the Jeep and trailer ready. The trailer has a light out; the right side fender clearance light. It's under warranty until the beginning of May but I don't have the time to drive it down to the dealer right now. I'm going to see if it's a simple fix like a loose connection. It's a double LED light and they're both out so I'm sure it's just a connection problem. Otherwise the trailer is ready to go. I just have to relocate it so that I can hook it up. I can move it by hand when the bike's not in it.
The Jeep is another story. There's a nail in the back left tire, close to the edge of the tread which means it may not be repairable...which means a new tire. The right front also has a slow leak which means it too may have a nail in it somewhere. Actually it means a new set of tires since they're all way past replacement anyway. I also have to do an oil change...a 15 minute job.
The weather outlook for Saturday keeps improving, with the forecast being 54 and sunny. I should be able to go for a ride, install the horn and finish cleaning the bike. For the final cleaning I'll spray it down with S-100, wash it off with the hose and blow it dry with the leaf blower. The S-100 should be able to help clean and de-grease the hard to reach parts and the hose will spray it out...the leaf blower will blow it dry leaving no water marks. Then it will be into the trailer and secure it for the trip.
