That was after we broke the trailer and had to go back to Virginia a couple weeks later to pick it up. Morons in Virgina who fixed the trailer, forgot to hook up brakes, so went back to have it done. We later discovered they also didn't replace the shackle and leveler which were worn through from dragging with broken axle. The shackle broke in West Va, and we temporarily fixed it, and then the brakes stopped working again later and we have yet to fix them. So maybe Drooze really is bad luck......
I was scheduled to go with him to pick up the old truck, when Mandie said she would like to go. Once Mandie was set to go, Drooze told me I didn't look up to the trip since I had chemo yesterday, and he thought I should rest up...
I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night! So I am not fooled that he enjoys Mandie's company more than mine, or that I, as a third wheel, might just cut into the younger folks fun.
Mandie is great helper as well as a bright and funny gal. She probably would cost me less money than Drooze, so maybe when they get back, I will see about that suggestion.
And now after starting to pull the headers on the car so we can pull the engine and see how it looks inside, but since Drooze thinks I don't look good today, I think I will just go home and take a nap...

Yeah, I was BORED because nothing near the level of exciting happens at home. I got used to being on the road over the last few weeks so I'm having a hard time adjusting to normal suburbia away from the trials and tribulations of NHR!
We have a great time with you too. I'll always be extra careful with my spelling into a GPS because of you!
