Another great adventure.

We were heading for our son's place when we got rear ended. About 45 minutes to get the police and paper work done and we were on our way. At our son's we found that his wife had got broadsided in a town north of Baltimore, Md just before we got hit here. He planned to trailor her the hy-brid to get home with and trailor the broke truck home. We headed out at 0700 Sunday, the next day, and got to their hotel the next day, Monday. We found the garage that had the truck and paid the tow bill and loaded the truck onto the trailor. The distance from there to home is 1150 miles mostly on highways. we left the hotel at 0325 the next morning and got through the local roads to I-81 South. The trailor brake warning was beeping now and then but nothing to worry about. One of the grease caps had fallen off so we went off the road to find a store to buy another. That done we got breakfast and looked the trailor over and I found a loose wire which was causing the beeping. After a closer inspection a loose brake backing plate was found so we removed the wheel, brake drum and plate. With the wheel back in place we left for the highway and for the next 8 hours or so there was no beeping. The roads are very rough and bridges have abrupt get on's. We bounced all the way to Louisiana. Once there we stopped and got a bite to eat, checked the trailor over and got back on the road. After a mile or so the tire on the wheel we removed earlier blew out. Left side rear tire close to the traffic. We couldn't get too far off the road but had about 3 feet to the white line. We put the electric impact wrench to good use and changed the tire with speed. From there to my house, about 75 miles, no more problems. After my son left me off he headed for home about 35 miles away sticking to the highways. He got home and next morning he noticed the left side front tire was missing. It had failed somewhere on his trip home and only the bead was left on the rim. Everything else was torn off. He didn't even notice the flat during his drive home. A new tire and it's back on it's 4 tires. I have a date with the body shop but he doesn't have one yet for his truck.
