Thank you - I needed to read that today too. Funny how people seem to just know that today you are vulnerable and they can effectively "push your buttons" no matter how hard you try to maintain your composure. I too feel like I am spiraling out of control and struggling to maintain my personal balance to make it through the day. "If I can only make it to 5:00 . . . "
Anyway, good luck with the tire issue. I just put a tube in my rear last week because of a little $.02 finish nail. In doing so (I did the work myself. First time and glad I did.
) I discovered that the axle and nut were both stripped and the splines had not seen moly but instead regular grease. That was the beginning of July. After a few choice words under my breath about the previous mechanics that were used, lots of research, several new hand tool purchases, etc. the Valk is back on the road. Long road but definitely worth it for me in the long run.
Best of luck to you.
