A Pleasant Autumn Day

Today was more like the September we love.  The rain (and snow) finally stopped and the sun actually shone for a little bit.  Temperature was in the mid 40's and it was pleasant to be outside today.  However, packing is not going well.  The trailer tongue weight exceeded the truck's capacity.  So the front of the trailer is basically useless.  Even with light boxes up front there is still too much tongue weight.  Dave thinks the axles are placed too far back for the trailer especially since it has an extra long tongue on it.  So tomorrow we unpack the trailer and start all over.  But fortunately, the flat tire on the trailer was easy to fix-it was a loose valve.  Only added about an hour to the load of work that Dave had to do today.  The washing machine took about another hour because something is wrong with it.  He and dad worked on it and decided it was not fixable without a great deal of disassembling which would probably mean about 5 hours of work.  We are looking forward to a brighter and trouble free tomorrow.
