My day?

Today was one of those days...

I went to work today, because Tim had 'work' that needed to be done. So I packed up and headed to Detroit to load up the tractor and trailer.

We had to do some work on Telegraph Rd. and then some in Ann Arbor.

Problem 1: The trailer had a flat, not a big deal I just pumped it back up and we where ready to roll.

Problem 2: After loading the tractor and heading down the road we realized that the 350 had worse problems then before, or more to the point the problem just got worse. It wouldn't go over 35 mph. So I limped it down the road to Telegraph and dropped to tractor. So much for Ann Arbor.

Problem 3: While making the turn onto Telegraph off of Ford Rd. I looked up in time to notice a cop with his lights on, pulling me over. Yippy! Apparently the lights on the trailer where out. He was really nice, asked for the usual stuff. I handed him my license and registration while I looked for the insurance. He told me not to worry about it as long as my license was good. He and I sat on the side of the road for almost 20 mins trying to get them to work. After which he gave me a fix it ticket for the lights, and followed me to the job site so I could drop the tractor and trailer.

Problem 4: We got the parts to fix the truck. Plugs and wires, but Tim had packed up all his tools and shipped them out. He's moving, so I was unable to fix the truck. And as far as I know the trailer is still on Telegraph Rd.
