Monday, March 15, 2021 – Got Trailer to the Shop

Hi Babe,
Got up early, which with DST was still dark, but managed to get everything ready to go, though not before my volunteer driver Scott arrived bright and early. We headed out right on schedule and arrived at the shop in Stuart, which turned out to be a pretty small space, with barely enough room to get the trailer in, and a driveway with such a big dip in it my pull out stairs got dragged and bent.. I dropped off all the parts, and we were back home in no time. I sat by the pool for awhile, though I can’t get in to swim yet because of the stitches on my knee, though I’m hoping I can in a few days, the weather has been absolutely perfect! Finally relaxed inside when it got too hot, then Jeff’s boarder and her boyfriend showed up and hung out for a few hours outside, deciding not to ride because she thought her horse was too sore from yesterday’s ride. I stayed in the house, though, mostly reading and continuing my icing regime. For a brief time, the mechanic seemed to think he would be able to finish early enough for me to get my trailer back today, which was surprising, but in the end, it turned out that despite my hours of effort to insure we had the right parts for the job, we didn’t. Still not sure exactly why, but the mechanic says the whole configuration was different than the schematic that I got from the parts folks, so I don’t know. Anyway, he’s going to try to get the parts locally tomorrow so he can finish the job. Apparently he had trouble with the molding around the slide and had to rip some of that out to get the slide out, so I may need to do some serious rebuilding when I get it back. It’s going to be a logistic problem picking it up tomorrow, since Jeff has a job and I have PT and a virtual doctor’s appointment, so it will be a challenge. Jeff finally got back around 10:00 from the Gator Nationals, he had some mechanical problems with James’ truck so he had to repair some bearings before he could make the drive back. So, sleeping in the house (I had even put my pillow aside to bring in, and thought I had, but somehow I didn’t so I don’t have my pillow), but the bed’s pretty comfy, and Lola’s worn out from a lot of playtime today so she’s settled down nicely. Time for bed, so I’m signing off! Good night, my darling! Love you!
