Hey Darlin',
Felt a little better today, still not 100 percent, but spent the entire day sitting around Dave's Auto World getting my truck ready for the road. Had to jump start my truck this morning, though, evidently the brake controller was shorting out and drawing on the battery again, so that's another problem that needs fixing. Very happy that they did NOT find any problems with my ball joints, which is what I was worried about after being told in Michigan last summer that they were not good (pays to get a second opinion), but that my brakes were not good. Considering the passenger side was replaced last year (because of a poor installation) and the driver side the year before that, it was a little surprising, but since brakes are probably the second most important thing on my truck after the motor, I went ahead and got them all replaced to the tune of $2500. He put on extra heavy duty ones since I told him I was a bit overloaded with my towing, so I'm hoping these will last a bit longer than the measly couple of thousand miles these have gone. Still cheaper than a new truck! Anyway, once that was finally done, I headed to Dunnellon, got a few things from Ace Hardware and a Sunpass from CVS, fueled up at Murphy (finally down to about $3.77 for diesel, though I got 20 gallons at ten cents off), stopped at the forest HQ for a hand winch, just in case I need it to load my car up, got back to camp and went to work on the flatbed trailer. I had to nail down some of the loose boards and get it hooked up, but didn't have time to mess with the brake controller, just unplugged it and hoping for the best tomorrow. Spent too much time trying to open a Sunpass account online, and called just as the offices were closing, so I guess I'll worry about that tomorrow. Hopefully, I'm ready to go in the morning. Not really looking forward to making two trips down there, but it seems like my only option at this point. Had a quick dinner, watched one Northern Exposure, and soon to shower and bed! Good night, sweetheart! Love you!
