Well a day late but I'm on my way. Figured I didn't want to deal with sitting in the rain today. Tomorrow and friday should be great!

Jerry will leave in the morning and make it down.  My family is dealing with Sylvia's brother who is in the hospital given 12 to 24 hour's to live.  Only 67 years old but he has abused his lungs by smoking, even after finding out he was exposed to agent orange in Vietnam back in the middle sixty's working in a munitions dump, that coupled with being diagnosed a few yeas back with advanced COPD,  So only one half of one lung is working an that ain't enough to sustain life.  I'll see you all sometime next fall for the fall get together.   

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Well,I made it on 5 wheels and 6 hours. One trailer tire decided to secede from the trailer and start it's own thing I guess. Looks like tomorrow will be spent working and making drive to Woodward to fix the damn thing. Oh. Well,there's always Fri.

It wasn't just a tire. It was the entire hub,wheel,tire. Two trips to Woodward and 10 hours. I got lucky as hell. Bearing blew up,a first for me . The outer bearing race had galled enough to the axle that it wouldn't budge even with a big ass bearing puller.  After 5 years I took the angle grinder out of trailer toolbox. Had to fooling buy a new one while in Woodward. Cheap ass DeWalt is NEVER leaving trailer.  Cut the race and a couple hammer blows and just a bit of flapwheel work  and I was a lucky and happy camper!!

Sand Report Sir!  The sand was as smooth as I have seen it for years, Tuesday thru Thursday.  Great weather, just some rain at night on the first 2 days.  I broke my intercooler mount twice, welded it twice.  Mike broke his intercooler mount, we made a doubler repair.  Jerry clubbed a tree and bent his rear 5 link.  Next night he turned it into a 3 wheeler.  Then we had a hellavu time finding camp.  That was late night.  Overall, it was a GREAT trip!
