Hey Everybody!

It's been a busy 24 hours since leaving the shop. Early this morning, around 1am, we were driving through a dirt parking lot at a truck stop and bottomed out the trailer on the crown of a paved road going through the dirt parking lot. After messing with it for an hour, it was time to get something to eat and go to bed. We decided to revisit the problem in the morning. We got up bright & early and in about an hour had the truck and trailer freed up-everything was much easier with a clear head and some daylight. We hit the highway once again.

Our next stop was in South Carolina, where we fueled up and put water in the truck and trailer. We had not been happy with the trailer brakes since we left the shop so we took a look at them and didn't find any major issues. Added some fluid, bled the system, repacked the trailer (having unloaded a bunch of stuff to get access to the brake system), fueled up again and we're trucking South headed for the Florida/Georgia line tonight. Looking forward to a good nights sleep.

It's a beautiful sunny day, t-shirt weather! Should be at the track by early tomorrow afternoon if all goes well.

That's all from the highways and byways of America, will touch base again tomorrow.

Jay
