Testing posting to Groomer Blog via email

Dave Susanj sent this note about a broken roller:

Forgot to mention - one of the rollers lost a brass shear pin - sheared off.  Chris jerry- rigged it to finish the job.  Located where the main bar connects to roller assembly. It is roller no. 1 as you approach them from the cabin

This brings up a sore point: with all the construction activity this year, the equipment a Mt. Haggin has been neglected. All three rollers have issues: the old Tidd-Tech needs a new skin; we were going to build better tracksetter attachments on the Ginzus with detents and positive pressure so we could move them side-to-side easily and not have to use weights. The 2-stroke Skandic needs an ignition module. Maybe we can make some progress on fixes when we're together this week.
