There’s a reason why that trailer didn’t feel right – actually two reasons. Not fully comfortable with the way that axel looked underneath the trailer, we took it to a truck garage to have it officially weighed. 1000 pounds overweight! @#$%&! On top of that, the trailer brakes weren’t working. While Spike and Alex ran some errands, I unloaded that damn trailer again to remove some more weight. I figure I could UPS the equipment I didn’t need and save some weight. Turned out to be about 400 pounds. Spent most of the day unpacking, repacking and boxing up stuff for shipment. Spike had some errands to run during the day – the look of horror and disgust on her face upon returning “home” to find our belongings sprawled (yet again) across another driveway is not a sight I want to see again. But some time in Jim & Renee’s hot tub was the perfect prescription for relaxation (that and Capt. Morgan). All the Binghamton crowd came over for a send-off dinner – it was great to see everyone. Alex had a great time with her cousins. It’s starting to hit that we’re not heading back north home, but that we have no home right now. We’re still in familiar settings with familiar people. But it’s starting to sink in.
