repair time

This post isn't going to have a lot to do with my kids, although Mason did help me a bit while working on the Airstream today.  I've been waiting for a nice day in order to do some work on the axles, pack the bearings, and adjust the brakes on the trailer.  Along the way, I found the wires to one brake drum broken (and therefore not working) and also that one of the bolts on one stabilizing jack was coming out.  So, all was repaired over the course of about 3 hours.  I couldn't have done it without the help of my tractor.  It's really convenient to have a hydraulically adjustable hitch on it so that I can level (or un-level depending on my needs) the trailer when it's on the ramps.  The trailer is now sitting in the front yard awaiting load-up of our goods that we took out for winter storage.  I haven't put water to the trailer yet, but it sure feels good to have it out and starting to get ready for the camping season.
