…because the weather is going crappy again and there’s a good chance that D&L’s semi-regular Saturday trip to the feed and dollar stores would be canceled on account of mud. I don’t normally go on Saturday unless I have a big dollar store shopping list saved up and enough pocket money to fulfill it…
…but if I could get the tires back on the trailer before the rain starts up again, that would be great.
So I did. 🙂
And while I was at it and the Jeep was backed up in front of the trailer, I tested the taillights and (rather to my surprise) they still work fine. So, with new tires and freshly-lubed hubs, the trailer is officially ready for any road trip Landlady wants to take it on. And it can go ahead and rain all week for all I care.
I would have thought you would have learned by now to not taunt Mother Nature…
Good to see that everything worked out. I’ve found that trailer lighting is mostly bullet proof, so seeing that the lights work shouldn’t be a surprise.
You wouldn’t think so. Heh.
Except for that time a rat took it into its head to eat the connector right off the pigtail. Or the time the chassis harness got snagged in something and pulled apart. Or the time I backed the trailer a little too far and smashed one of the taillight housings. Or the time when both bulbs just burned out.
Basically I just always assume Uncle Murphy is going to show up at any moment.
