Sorry I didn't update over the weekend but things were in a bit of a turmoil. So here are the updates.
I slept most of the rest of the day Friday. I woke up at midnight, Saturday morning, and my headache was gone!! I got started finishing swapping all my crap over to the blue truck. When I finished I took the silver truck to the truck wash and got it cleaned up. When I got back to the Daily yard I drove around the parking lot looking for my trailer. It wasn't there. I peered in the bay windows of the shop and low and behold, there it was. So I was stuck there for the weekend. Since all I did was pile everything into the truck, I couldn't even see my bed. I went and got a hotel for the weekend.
Monday morning came and I checked out and went back to the Daily yard. The shop said that they had a lot of work to do on the trailer and it might be ready late in the afternoon. I settled in for the long wait. While waiting I managed to dig my way down to my bed. Got enough stuff out of the way so that I can use it. I won't be able to get it totally straightened out until I get home and can take some of the stuff out. It's amazing how much stuff accumulates in 3 or 4 years.
At 3 pm they pulled out my trailer. It was done. They had changed all the brakes, replaced several wheel seals, several "S" cams, and several tires. They re-welded a couple cracks. They also did a 90 day inspection, and general servicing to the trailer which includes greasing the chassis.
I hooked up to it and prepared to go. I pulled out of there at 3:30. I wanted to avoid Washington DC because I would get there right at rush hour. I went the back way down I-81. Was going to go through Charlotte but remembered that the Republican Convention was going on there so going through was probably not a good idea. I went the back way to Richmond to I-95. That was a good idea. Had no traffic issues at all. Stopped for the night at the Petro truck stop in Kenly, North Carolina. 470 miles today. Will get home tomorrow.
