|
| 12.06.2006 |
- Replaced the Casio watch battery |
| 08.06.2006 |
- Another tent pole broke! Same problem as previously.

the opposite pole causing the pole to rip when there wasn't enough material
to hold the stress. |

| 25.03.2006 |
Dismantled the coleman valve assembly
to inspect the o-rings. A number of the rings are in pretty bad shape, and
need to be replaced. Unfortunately I don't have any, so I am going to get
some. After some discussion with a fellow travel who has a similar model,
he has convinced me to try the Kerosene generator instead of the coleman
fuel generator on my stove. As I don't have one, I will also get one of
these, and see, if he is correct (that it burns unleaded better than the
coleman fuel generator). I am sceptical as I have always used the coleman
fuel generator, but I will see. |

Lubricated main (lower) interior zippers of the
tent, both front and back. Then squeezed the slider together at the back. |
| 16.03.2006 |
Cleaned and replaced the generator on the Coleman
stove. Only marginal difference.  |
| 04.02.2006 |
Replaced another tent pole, this time the connecting
piece seems to have worked itself loose into the other pole leaving only
a short stub which then cracked the pole. |
| 02.02.2006 |
Replaced a broken tent pole, this one cracked, probably
due to tension when the tent dries after being fairly tight when wet. |
| 30.01.2006 |
Replaced the pump leather in the coleman lantern
(the old one was a used one from the stove, this time a new leather was
put in.) |
| 03.01.2006 |
Sprayed zippers in the tent with teflon spray, except
the ventilation in the front and back which have zippers to close them. |
| 08.12.2006 |
Overhauled the coleman stove, new generator and
pump assembly (leather, clip and backing plate). Works great again, the
generator was plugged and wouldn't work correctly. |
| 01.12.2006 |
Replaced tent pole, not sure why it broke, and only
noticed when putting the tent up again. |
