July 3, 2008 The Brakes 2!
July 3, 2008.
This day started with the trip back to the supplier to return the wrong sized socket. While returning the item the counter attendant Jason, told me a about this heavy truck mechanic just around the corner in Arnprior Ontario, so I went around to see them. They where very helpful, the counter man there sent me to another place that specializes in larger trucks on the east side of Ottawa. I met with the mechanic there and this man knows his stuff, he looked under the bus and got into the drivers seat pressed the brake pedal a couple of times and had a couple idea’s what the problem could be. He also told me he would be at the Blues fest as a volunteer so I told him to look me up at the show. The blue bomber could not be seen until Monday so I headed back to blues fest.
I got to the Blues Fest to set up at about 12 noon. I pulled the Blue bomber into position in front of our spot and set up our display. I was done in about two hours, just in time to open for the first night at the Ottawa Blues Fest.
We made a lot of good contacts with local family and friends of veterans.
Red came around to see me a couple of times on his scooter to make sure I had water and that everything was going well.
