71SSclone Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Second that- check tie downs. When moving my car to Florida, the tie down became loose and the car moved against the wheel well in my enclosed trailer. First time towing with my enclosed trailer, so... lesson learned. Only nicked the wheel a little bit, and no body damage was done. I'll know better next time. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Trailer work today. Had to replace breakaway box, critters ate the wiring, fixed all the critter eaten lights. Took the grinder to all the loose paint, it sits outside all the time, gave it a gloss black rattle can shine. Some of it anyway. Check tires, bearings and loaded up three extra trailer tires plus the spare and an extra pickup tire plus the spare. Floor jack, toolbox and battery for the winch. But now Ron has me thinking, am I leaving Wednesday morning or Thursday morning. Hmmm. Gotta go look. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Due to how hot it is supposed to be tomorrow we are getting up earlier than originally planned. We were going to leave around 8 and shoot for around 11:00 arrival but now we are going to leave here at as close to 6:00AM. We may drop our stuff at the hotel when we arrive and then head for Walmart to buy 2 or 3 cases of water to have in the club canopy for our club members and their families and guests. Our grandkids are coming over this afternoon and will sleep here tonight and Emily, Ryan and I will head out tomorrow morning. Patsy is not going to make it because she has a couple appointments and besides I would not have much time to spend with her, that plus the heat may be too much for her. Now, I need to wear myself out today so I can get to sleep tonight... yeah Rob, that is going to happen, you know you rarely sleep on Eastern Meet Eve..... See you all there tomorrow or whatever day you arrive. rob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 My apologies, I thought spares were a normal thing. This is my bearing toolbox. Lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm even packing a GM Tech II, and SnapOn scan tool to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Just for sh… and giggles I did an “ emergency “ side of the road bearing change. Just to make sure I had everything in the trunk to do it. Luckily it was in my driveway. Lol. I didn’t actually change them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 The car is partially packed. We had planned to leave around 8:00AM but due to the forecasted temperatures we have moved our departure to 6:00AM tomorrow morning. Patsy has appointments over the next couple days so it will only be our grandchildren and myself until their father arrives Friday. rob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
