The Wheel Thing
Jan. 3rd, 2013 09:23 pmThis afternoon, Lisa hitched the Big Orange Van to the utility trailer with the intention of moving it around to the side of the property near the wood box, the easier to make it to unload the half-cord of wood we purchased a few days ago. As she pulled it around to Front Street, she realized that the right rear tire was low again. As she started to pull around the side lot, the tire came right off the wheel!
( Tire Tales and Trailer Trips )
With the tire repaired and re-installed on the trailer, I suggested that, since we knew we were going to need more wood and since Big R is open until 7 PM on weekdays, we simply go over to Fallon today and get more wood tonight rather than wait until later. Lisa agreed with that, so once I was able to get clear of work (there were some late issues at work that I needed to resolve first), we refueled the van and set out for Fallon for the third time in a week. There we bought a half-cord of Douglas Fir to go with the half-cord of Juniper already in the wood box and headed home.
It was cold and dark, so rather than do anything with the wood, Lisa just parked the van-trailer combo in front of the house; we'll take care of it tomorrow, when the temperatures might actually be above zero, although not far above.
