Barry texted first thing this morning said he had a couple spare hubs I could have with it. Along with all kinds of other goodies. Went to get a hull and came back with a hull full of stuff. I at least owe you a fishing trip once I get the boat ready.
The boat made it to the curb in front of house. Left Sanford at 1:00 after gassing up and eating lunch. I stopped short of Jacksonville to check hubs. Again short of Savannah. And again on 17 about 30 miles out. It was uneventful until the fiancé texted asking if I wanted to join some friends for dinner. Of course shortly after agreeing to it, one hub went up in smoke maybe 15 minutes from home, on hwy 17 with minimal shoulder. Collected the pieces and limped it home. Driveway is roll curb and uphill, so I'll have to put on one of the spare hubs to get it in the driveway and to its parking spot without dragging the axle. Picked up a nail in a tire but it never leaked and didn't have any flats. Overall much more uneventful than it could have been if it happened on 95.
Looks like grass cutting and skim coating ceiling drywall tomorrow just took a back seat to changing a trailer hub to get the boat out of the street.
