    random stuff

    Well. On my way out of town today, my outer wheel bearing decided to freeze and the inner race decided to spin on the spindle, dunno why? It's a new bearing with fresh grease..... So I pulled over, sprayed in some goo, did some vollying kinda like formula racers do to keep their tires warm, I believe this stuck the inner race to the spindle and free'd up the bearing and the goo kept the bearing from being dry on the way back...... So I fixed that bearing, repacked retorqued, then back to getting out of town, to do some shopping. Took a little detour stopped at the beach to do a bit of detecting and noticed that there's a TON more beer bottle caps this year compared to previous years..

    Found some loose change, a few rusty nails and watched the sunset..... A nice start to the weekend, except for the bearing issue. I didn't like finding that, ~people are drinking alot, alot more people bringing "glass containers" and leaving their trash in the sand.

    There's a sign that says no glass on the beach, but people are doing it anyway cause they want to get their slur on.... Found about 20 or so bottle caps in a 50 foot by 100 foot area anyway, back to the regular scheduled program :P

    Cauz, what I don't get it, I thought you lived in Sacramento area so what beach is this that you were talking about? Were out somewhere else?
    Also what type of car/vehicle is it that you were riding?

    I agree with the trash around the world becoming more and I don't mean the trash that is collected through normal channels...things are getting worse everywhere.

    Was the car, 4 wheels, front drivers side outer wheel bearing it hasn't given me any hints, after about 45 miles, I'm going to check on it though, cause it did look like the spindle had a little galling, can't afford to replace the spindle unless I source a used one or aftermarket chromoly for bigger calipers I'm in California, and living in a state of mind, rather than any one place. I live about 10 miles from the ocean
