Start the new job on the 4th.
the last week has been hell.
spent Sunday repairing the exhaust system on the truck and building a bracket for carrying the mopeds on the front of the boat trailer. Also cleaned out the kegorator at my friends house.
Monday while taking the truck to get the brakes done, the water pump goes out . Headed north to move a project vehicle and the battery on the Audi goes into melt down. have to love the smell of a shorted battery.
spent the rest of Monday moving my '53 project truck 80 miles from my friends heated garage to my storage unit - used his truck since the dodge was getting worked on. Couldn't find a trailer to rent - pulled in a few favors and found an angle iron reinforced box trailer. ended up strapping the cab and frame to the top of it. burned some beer favors with a bunch of people to lift that. found a battery at about 8pm.
Spent Tuesday building shelves in the storage area and moving stuff from the house to storage, then putting up railings at my Mothers house.
Spent Today emptying one of my other storage units and moved the Opel GT project into the storage unit with the truck. ran into a problem moving the '48 truck's Big Block Olds
Tomorrow will be spent changing engine and trans oil on the audi, then parking it for a few months. Will also replace the inner wheel well on Jodi's Vibe. Then packing up a bunch of garage items.
Friday will be loading the truck with computers, clothes, tools and fishing gear. the remainder of the household items will have to wait.
Spent the last week looking for a spare wheel and tire for the boat. load range D 13" tires not to be found anywhere. ended up getting one shipped from etrailer. supposed to be here on Friday, holding my breath until then.
currently stressed, sore and fatigued.
Leave Saturday morning, headed south. would love to stop by anyone along the way.
Headed down I-43 to Milwaukee, then 90/94 to I-80 south of Chicago. I-80 to I-65 south to I-24. then over to I-75 in Chattanooga and south to Bradenton.
