To recapture the past week\u2026 it was way too much of everything.<\/p>\n

Week ago Friday I went and bought a small cargo trailer.  wanted one<\/a> for a really long time<\/a> and figured, why not now\u2026 <\/p>\n

\"1-SAM_5013\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Really nice as it fit in the garage.  Due to our new CRAPPY HOA that says you can\u2019t do anything outside you house without a permit and their approval, parking this outside is forbidden.  <\/p>\n

We thought about leaving Sunday but some guy was to come pick up some left over furniture (a big , heavy, ugly, wall unit with a desk in the middle\u2026 But he never showed and never let us know he wouldn\u2019t\u2026 bummer. So we started for the OK house on Monday.  <\/p>\n

NOTE to SELF:  check the damn weather a lot more\u2026.<\/p>\n

The trip started ok the little trailer<\/a> tracked real well and we were getting excellent mileage\u2026. hummm maybe too good?  but was ok, we got to Limon and stopped as normal\u2026 then headed on East\u2026 when we topped the hill east of Limon we figured it was going to be bad\u2026 <\/p>\n

\"1-SAM_5056\"<\/a>loo<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But it was a tail wind<\/a> and that was helping us along\u2026 now we know too much help was being given\u2026 anyway\u2026 sailed on to Colby\u2026Stopped for gas and neither of us were hungry so we opted to head<\/a> on east\u2026. oooops\u2026 didn\u2019t get more than 5 miles out and the road<\/a> turns more South East then East and it was about the time<\/a> the winds were reaching peak (later to be found at sustained 60mph with gusts).  One big gust that went three directions and the little trailer<\/a> when a dozen directions\u2026 When I look back I see it is sideways\u2026 not in the road<\/a> but vertically\u2026 as I hit the brakes the trailer<\/strong> determined it could fly and sail right on by\u2026 we did a 180 and ended up sliding backwards\u2026 Once it stopped I am looking at a big truck coming toward us , but fortunately he got stopped way back and that caused the traffic to go around\u2026 I got out to assess the damage and clear my shorts\u2026 <\/p>\n

\"1-SAM_5063\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some how it didn\u2019t flip the jeep, and didn\u2019t come totally unglued\u2026 in fact the only thing<\/a> tore up was the hitch\u2026 twisted and bent of course and that lower corner that slide on the pavement\u2026 oh and the fender on that side\u2026 Now here is the good and bad..<\/p>\n

Good<\/a> \u2013 it was a great little trailer, solid built\u2026 and empty<\/p>\n

Bad \u2013 It was empty so it didn\u2019t take much wind<\/a> to make it rock and roll\u2026 <\/p>\n

Good<\/a> \u2013 since it was empty it didn\u2019t get hurt much and didn\u2019t hurt the stuff inside\u2026<\/p>\n

Bad \u2013 had it been full it likely would have been a lot m more stable?  <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now in this position you can barely tell but there is a set of couple of lines running down the roof\u2026 somehow and I think my eyes were closed or froze?  it slide into the guard rail.  Couldn\u2019t have slide along the rail much as the lines are not gouges or deep but it did bend in the roof a bit\u2026 <\/p>\n

Good<\/strong> \u2013 there was a guard rail and we didn\u2019t go off the embankment\u2026<\/p>\n

Bad \u2013 There was a guard rail and we couldn\u2019t move in any direction, not that we could have even with out but we were stuck in the spot\u2026<\/p>\n

Good<\/strong> \u2013 due to many more \u201cBlow over\u201d on this stretch the highway patrol was there with in 10 minutes\u2026 <\/p>\n

Bad \u2013 It required the patrol and a wrecker to get me moved out of the way\u2026 <\/p>\n

Good<\/strong> \u2013 the wrecker only had to pull the trailer<\/strong> over on the wheels and I could tow it back to town<\/p>\n

Bad \u2013 The hitch was twisted enough that we needed to do something with that or leave it in Colby KS?  <\/p>\n

The wrecker was maybe 10 minutes behind the patrol, again due to numerous blow over on this next few miles of road\u2026 Also the Press showed up\u2026 they didn\u2019t want to drive all the way down to get a good picture of a big truck over so they got mine and later we found we made the Colby new paper, FRONT PAGE !\u2026<\/p>\n

\"1-trailer\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good<\/strong> \u2013 The patrolman was an OSU fan\u2026 believe that or not, way out in Western KS\u2026 <\/p>\n

Bad \u2013 We had to meet in this situation\u2026 <\/p>\n

Anyway the wrecker got in position, hooked the winch on and poof\u2026 it came back over fine\u2026 well not fine but towable\u2026<\/p>\n

\"1-SAM_5064\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was just before it leveled out\u2026
So we pulled back to Colby, paid the wrecker guy and took it to a body shop that said they could straighten the hitch so we could be back on the road\u2026 notice in the above that the only real damage is to the corner molding, some thick aluminum\u2026 Anyway the body shop got the hitch leveled out enough to tow it home<\/a> and I paid them\u2026 same credit card?  We struck for home<\/a> about 2.5 hours delayed\u2026 Going rather slow till I figured out how the trailer<\/strong> was pulling and not wobbling or anything\u2026 and we were moving on with a much diminished wind<\/strong> by now until\u2026.<\/p>\n

We passed through Russel, KS\u2026 and I noticed that the traffic on the west bound side was \u2026. well it went to nothing\u2026 hummmm\u2026 and then there was a lot of traffic on the south side frontage road<\/strong> headed back west\u2026 hummmm then at Wilson the road<\/strong> was blocked and and we were directed into Wilson then told to head<\/a> west as the east direction was closed due to fire\u2026 you remember Monday\u2026 all the fires?  So we had to drive back about 12 miles to Russell, Ks and at that point I figured I better fill the tank again as we didn\u2019t know when we would get to the next station\u2026 we got filled up and headed south on HWY 281\u2026 about the only way out of town but while waiting at Mc-D\u2019s we over heard people say that Wilson was being evacuated due to the big fire started south of Lake Wilson (north of the Interstate and it was threatening everything to the south\u2026 We had seem some smoke as we pulled into Wilson but nothing right there , yet\u2026 Anyway we head<\/strong> south to Great Bend \u2026 nothing much exciting in that stretch as the wind<\/strong> had died down and we were going much slower and usually down off the high points\u2026 At the Bend we headed back East to McPherson and then got on I-135 and rejoined our regularly scheduled road<\/strong> trip.  We had thought about heading south from Colby but started hearing about fires in the panhandle then as we headed south out of Russell we hear that there were fires near Buffalo, Laverne, Fort Supply, etc.\u2026 so glad we didn\u2019t head<\/strong> south too early we could have gotten into those big problems\u2026 With all that we got home<\/strong> about 11pm and just crashed out\u2026 <\/p>\n

Ooh and I almost forgot.. In Russell we came on this sign\u2026 never knew about the Second?  <\/p>\n

\"1-SAM_5072\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That was way too much for one<\/a> day<\/a> but we were adding things up as we go\u2026<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2026 I am resting up and went out to do a few things on the Ham Radio Computer\u2026 we had put in a new SSD drive couple of years ago or maybe it was last year\u2026 anyway, it was acting real slow and then poof\u2026 it quit and would restart\u2026 wouldn\u2019t read that new SSd hard drive\u2026 I worked on it and worked on it and then\u2026 just gave up\u2026 Crap\u2026 add that to the list\u2026 <\/p>\n

So now I am waiting to hear form the insurance company\u2026 nothing heard on Tue,  so I came in and worked on catching up my credit card charges\u2026 I keep a close eye on it and keep it in Quicken and \u2026 hummmm there are two charges on the card that I don\u2019t recognize\u2026 and they are big ones\u2026 like $350 dollars total big\u2026 I asked did she use the card for beauty supplies?  NO\u2026 she is beautiful enough without some foolish supplies so someone, somewhere, picked up out card number and went to using it\u2026 we called the card company and got it stopped, and listed a fraud alert, which of course requires them to send new cards\u2026 At least I caught it before they ran up a really big bill\u2026 Now we also wait for new cards to arrive\u2026 <\/p>\n

I did get a sunset picture Tuesday and boy it shows there was still tons of ash in the air..<\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_0137\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We made a trip to see Sherries Mom Wed and took care of some small stuff\u2026 I spent time<\/strong> packing things up, in hopes we have a trailer<\/strong> or we rent one\u2026 <\/p>\n

Thursday since the jeep was so dirty and probably needed the seats cleaned real good we took it down to get detailed.  The weather was nice so good time<\/strong> to get it done\u2026 I also called around and found a repair shop that said they could fix the trailer<\/strong> since they build trailers locally.. I took it to them Friday and the price seemed reasonable for the amount of stuff they would have to do so I left it there to get at least the hitch fixed right for towing\u2026 All this time<\/strong> I am trying to get the Radio Computer to work by using a back up copy to rebuild another HD\u2026 for some odd reason.. it hasn\u2019t worked out yet\u2026 So I guess I may need to get a new HD and start over?  <\/p>\n

Today was another good and bad day\u2026 We got our Sam’s Club card rebate check, \u2026 <\/p>\n

Good<\/strong> \u2013 we get a rebate check for using the Sam’s club card\u2026 <\/p>\n

Bad \u2013 you have to go to a Sam’s club to cash it\u2026 <\/p>\n

Good<\/strong> \u2013 The Edmond Sam\u2019s is not too far..<\/p>\n

Bad \u2013 I left the old card at home<\/strong> \u2013 hey it ain\u2019t no good anyway , oh, wait you use it to get into Sam’s and identify you as a member\u2026 oh well the nice lady there wrote out the number for us so we could use some of the rebate money to buy a few things\u2026 <\/p>\n

So we went to Edmond to get it cashed and yes it was more than enough to warrant getting it done quick\u2026 One more thing\u2026 This guy was advertising big fibs today\u2026 <\/p>\n

\"1-SAM_5084\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was only one<\/strong> guy in there and that ain\u2019t no truck\u2026 I at least know that much\u2026.<\/p>\n

That about wraps up the week of things that have been way more excitement than I needed \u2026 I sure hope this next week is much better\u2026<\/p>\n
