Brighton Canal

The trailer tires are wearing quickly. I had hoped that a new axle would fix the problem and had hoped we could make it to Vancouver on the old tires, but nope.

That was Gordon with the bare bones details. This is Heather with the rest of the story.

Gordon had planned to do a big post on team living as related to the Les Schwab incident. However, being stuck in the parking lot a half hour before opening so we would be first in line, he is faced with making a post on his phone and his fingers are too fat. Excuse me, MANLY.

Anyway, 3 days ago Gordon began worrying aloud about the uneven wear on the trailer tires, but he hoped they would last the trip. Then that they would last til Vancouver. Then Ellensburg, then Boise. After some discussion, he agreed to call the tire shop in Salt Lake City, which at this point was a few hours away. We could get seen in the morning.

A few miles later he thanked me for encouraging him to fix the tires as soon as possible. I said, Sure, I could see he was really worrying about it. He asked, Why wasn’t I worrying? My answer, “Because YOU are covering that. It’s my job to encourage you to get it fixed so you won’t worry.”

Team living.

PS Gordon’s brother Mark showed up for moral support. Gordon was explaining the situation in manly fashion, then they saw me taking photos for the post. Heh.Read more
