Im having a Gino day
Had to register the trailer today. Ohio requires a weight slip, so I go drag out an old boat trailer from the side of the garage. Wrong size ball, Find the right size, but even with a 3 foot cheater pipe the old ball isn't budging. So I go grab my Dad's truck. next thing I notice is the trailer has a flat tire as I hook it up. No big, just drag it over in front of the garage to fill it. The trailer wont back worth a damn, that's when I notice one of the wheels isn't turning. So I jack it up, take the tire off, smack the drum a few times to free it up and put the tire back on. As I start filling it, I notice the tread splitting, so I jack it back up, throw the spare on and off to the scales. Drop the trailer off back at home and head to DMV. As I'm getting off the freeway I hear that tell tale grind that its now time to put brakes on the explorer.
Get my plates and registration taken care of, get back home and the last part I need for my steering is here, sweet!! head over to the shop, getting the steering buttoned down and its tine for a shake down cruise after completely redoing the boat for the last 8 months. Whats that? I hear a rumble. Look up the skies are black and here comes the rain. So much for the shake down cruise, |

I do feel for ya putting all the work in you just want to get out there and go for a ride. On the other hand if that was Gino's day it probably would have cost you 5k.:lolhit:
