I did end up going for a short ride to the Hardware store again today. Even if they are short rides makes me feel good knowing I saved a lil bit of gas doing something I needed to do anyway. I went 4.82 miles.

ytd= 18.39
No, I stripped the threads on the nut and bolt that attach the post to the seat rails. I had enough good threads to hold the seat on but not enough to tighten the seat down. It was like being in a Lazy Boy recliner rocking back and forth. Well Lazy Boy recliner might be a stretch. More like riding a bucking horse
