The cars are unloaded and back in the drive. I'm really glad that I went but it's good to be home. I needed a break from the garage and a distraction from that burglary.
I really was taking on too much at one time. As good as it may feel to be seeing progress on each vehicle, this was nuts. I had to prep 2 different trailers (one of which I was totally unfamiliar with. I Inspected the lights, brakes, wheel bearings, had to replace one safety chain hook, charge batteries in both trailers, readied the tie-down ratchet straps (and made sure I took a couple extra along), gathered wood blocks, jacks, spare tires, etc... OK that wasn't so difficult. But I also had to transport a '73 Duster out to our farmstead for a friend, pick up the 'Lil Red Express, paint graphics on the sides of the dually, do a quickee bondo patch up on one of the Duster's rear quarters, re-paint the Dusters sides, design out and put graphics on the Duster, check fluids in both tow vehicles and both cars to be raced, wired the dually for a 7-pin trailer hookup, make new mounts for the seat belts and the seats in the Duster, make a battery tie down for the Duster, etc, etc,... On top of it all I found that I needed to replace the front wheel bearings on the dually. Of course all of the necessary blankets, pillows, clothes, food, drinks, coolers,had to be sorted out too.
I didn't go the best prepared but I made it. I'd gotten by with minimum sleep most of the previous week. - Sometimes as little as 2 hours a night. The anticipation was still high although dampened by the worries about thefts at the farm.
