Bikerscum - Patrick St. Jean

I got started again on that sheared off bolt after church.  My first attempt was to cut a notch in the end sticking out to try to use a screwdriver bit to get it out.  That was not to be the case as the tabs just kept shearing off whenever I twisted.  So… more »

I've been having some issues with the Jeep not running right, all traced back to the throttle position sensor going bad, so I pulled it off today to replace it with the shiny new one I picked up yesterday.  Unfortunately, one of the two bolts had a diffe… more »

Looks like I brought back some unwanted guests from Gilmer. I went to the doctor after having a bunch of what look like chicken pox like itchy bumps pop up. Turns out to be some sort of mite that hitched a ride. I'm washing everything in hot water, dr… more »

We got up, grabbed some breakfast, and got back over to BMRA for a morning of wheeling. We met up with one of our fellow Lone Star Jeep Club members for some trails. We re-did a few of the ones we did yesterday and also found a couple more we hadn't do… more »

We packed up the Jeep and hit the road for Gilmer for a couple days of off-road fun at Barnwell Mountain Recreational Area. We stayed on the easier trails, but after all the rain, some of the 2s are closer to 3s. Reese was a little worried about some o… more »

I got the call I was waiting for this morning, the dealer letting me know that the Jeep was ready. I got a lift over there and picked it up. Turns out that they replaced all 12 lifters, reground the valves, and installed new valve seals. It's running… more »

I got a call from the service writer this morning. It looks like it was the lifters and they've got the parts they need on order. It should be completed some time on Friday. That's kind of a bummer because there's things I need to be doing that need a… more »

I dropped it off this morning feeling really frustrated. The engine had been ticking and tapping constantly, until I got about a half of a mile from the dealership. I told them that and they promised to check it out again. Later on in the evening, I… more »
