morning from hell
well today is day 2 of my little 5 day vacation, i woke up early and set up the trailer and the ss to get ready for a quick trip to help out another member.....
drove over to joshes and got to the shop a little after 10, hung out for a little while and loaded up matts car, hung out a little longer and then left to take matts car back to his house....punch his address into the garmin a little after 11 and it says ill be there around 12:15, cool.
off i go to edison, rt1 all the way back into jersey and then all the way up to edison, construction here, traffic there, pretty much an uneventful ride. pull up to matts a couple minutes after the garmin said i would and hop out to see............................................a flat on my trailer, i seriously didnt notice it AT ALL while driving, no wobbles, vibrations, noise, anything.
so i unload matts car, park it, and hook up my compressor (tbss oem compressor FTW) and put some air in........it holds, so i go on my way planning to stop at pep-boys as soon as i get back on rt1.
by the time im at pepboys its flat again, i run in, buy some fix-a-flat, and run out, while putting in the slimy crap i notice its coming back out the side of the valve, **** the valves shot, run back into pepboys and the kid says if i can get the wheel off he will change the valve. OK
to be continued

go back outside, jack up the trailer, open my toolbox...........**** my emergency tools are still in the pos civic.
run back in pepboys buy a $25 socket set, and a $15 dollar ratchet, run back outside take the wheel off, ***** the inner sidewall is shot.......
at this point i give up, throw the wheel into the back of my truck, take a ratchet strap to the axle to hold it up to the frame, and drive home on three wheels.

Mike, where did you order your tires? My trailer needs 4 new sneakers and I haven't shopped around yet. Oh yeah, sorry about your ****** day. That will teach you, no good deed goes unpunished.

So who was planning on heading to Hooters this Thursday? The cruise night is next week. I noticed some familiar cars on the Dave Adams website. Hooters Cruise Night Camaros. Sorry to hear about your bad day Mike. Hopefully it happened at the right time before something more serious could have caused really big problems. That's a good reminder to everyone with a trailer to keep an eye on things.
