tomorrow should be the day

[Troutkiller2006]

unless something else happens, i should be bringing my new to me 88 dually home. the one that was posted in the boats for sale area here. but so far... its already been a bit of a struggle.

trading a trailer for the boat but overtime at the shipyard left me without time or energy to get my chappy off the trailer.

was gonna get it last weekend but i bought my kid a really nice specialized mountain bike for his tenth birthday. hes a great kid, he pulled the straight a's and he deserved it, even though i couldnt afford it. he counted down the days till we could finally go to the bike shop and pick it up. he had that bike for one hour and got to ride it twice before some**** (if you are offended by me calling him that then youre right, hes the victim, not my son) came in my garage and stole it, in broad daylight, on his birthday! so it took almost the whole weekend of searching,slapping, threatening and other things to get my sons bike back. but i did get it back!

late sunday afternoon got the boat off the trailer and was gonna boogie to louisiana and make the trade. but with the boat off i could see severe corrosion in the suspension. one shackle was rotted away completely. deal was my good trailer for his good boat and trailer. chris, the guy with the boat told me to pay for the parts and he would install them. i said no. i'll bring you a good trailer.

which brings us to today. $320 on new suspension,springs, equalizers, everything. easy job. bout an hours work and go make the trade. except that i paid for 7" ubolts and the dude put 5" ubolts in the box. so, back to marine supply as soon as they open tomorrow, install ubolts and next time i post in here should be a pic of the dually! cause what else could go wrong!!! (yes im knocking on wood rite now lol)
