What is it with me and trailers?
Today I decide to use the Silverado and my new tow rope to pull the chrysler out of its parking spot so I can get it to the trailer and take it to the mechanic.
I'm frustrated with my ignorance and inability to solve the fuel problem so I asked Michael if he would look at it and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
I so wish I lived close to someone who likes mucking with cars after work or on the weekends. Ah well.
So I get the ramps, the trailer hooked up to the truck and everything lined up.
I picked up the wrong battery at the estate and have a mismatch for the battery posts and the leads from the winch. So I use the jump cables to make do for short duration to get the car on the trailer.
Used the winch to get it up on the trailer... it was nearly 100 degrees.
And of course when I get the car on the trailer (only with the help of my brother), that's when I realize there is a flat tire on the trailer. Lead tire on the driver side (double axle).
Is is something about me?
Bad Kharma?
I swear this is now the 3rd tire (3 different tires) I've had go flat at the front left location of the trailer. Same trailer... the one with the dove tail that pulls so easy and usually easy to load.
Ugh.
Waiting for the sun to go over and will go air it back up around 7 pm. If it stays up tonight (which I'm not expecting), then I'll trailer everything down tomorrow. If it goes flat, then I'll take husband to get hearing aids and fix the flat when I get back so I can trailer it down in the afternoon.
Bah humbug.
