Left the house for work this morning at 4:30am with the truck and trailer loaded up for the freeride this weekend. I got about 20 miles down the road when I heard a rubber "chirp" and the truck hesitated a bit. I pulled over to find a blown tire and a seized wheel bearing. I always carry a spare bearing but the really crappy thing is, I have been looking everywhere for a spare and hadn't been able to find one and had just ordered one earlier this week that I was to pick up on the way down.
Not about to leave my ski on the side of the road, I moved everything around and got my ski loaded on the truck, chained my trailer to a tree and drove back home. I ended up buying 3 new tires of a different dimension that is more common and headed back to change the bearing out and bring the trailer back home to reload. Turns out the inner bearing was seized onto the shaft so bad I had to flip the trailer upside down and load it in the truck and haul it home to complete the repairs.
All's well that ends well, I got the day off work, it's the wifes half day so we get to spend the afternoon together before I leave for the weekend and I now have new tires and wheel bearings on the trailer ready to rock!! See you at the freeride, we should be there around 11pm tonight!
