Good to hear that you're still having fun despite the trials along the way. It's an adventure!



One day I was towing the 24' black trailer with my dually.... Trailer is a tandem axle.... BAM! Blow out... no biggie - had it changed in a matter of minutes. All the right tools...

Roll back up the road 30 or so miles --- FLAP FLAP FLAP! Tread is separated from a tire on the other side (mind you these tires were pretty new!).... Well WTF -- I just used the spare for the other side! Now what. Pull over to assess the situation... and look up and there's a truck tire joint back about half a mile -- and the exit is half a mile in front of me. I drop the trailer - take the two pooped out tires to the truck guy and he has ------ TWO tires --- my size. And he's not busy. In an hour I'm back on the road.

Sometimes things work out - sometimes not so much.
