Had to spend some money on the newer tandem to make it reliable, new Skins and wheels, new surge brake coupler and jack, repack the bearings and clean all the grease off the shoes and bleed the brakes.
Hooked to the truck, fueled up, tools and spare parts loaded, took tomorrow off work for my hair-brained plan. May long weekend in Canada is always the first weekend of camping, the Admirals van is loaded with camping gear to head to the fifth wheel lot tomorrow afternoon. I'm leaving between 1 and 2 am tomorrow on a 10 hour run to Manitoba, talked the old guy into keeping and selling his trailer, he will meet me at the boat launch around noon tomorrow, put the Chief from the first page of this thread on my trailer then turn and burn back to camp by midnight I hope. Cross your fingers.:facepalm::doh:
