(no subject)
A few months ago I had a friend of mine, a certified mechanic, replace the ball joints on my truck. Apparently, when he put the drivers side back together, he put it back together a little off kilter, and now my wheel bearings and spindle are all out of wack. This means that you can literally grab my tire and pull it back and forth, which is not a motion that a tire should do. Since this is a very serious safety hazard, in addition to the other, less critical issues my truck has (core support, broken leaf spring, bad radius arm bushings...), it can't safely make a 2000 mile drive through Canada.
What it can do, however, is make a 122 mile drive from Bellingham to Bremerton.
Unfortunately for me (and any readers out there), the ferry from Juneau to Bellingham is a three day trip.
I don't do very well with inactivity. Three days is a really long time to be trapped on a boat.
The ferry doesn't leave Juneau until the 25th of October, so I have a few weeks to get everything together. Tomorrow I need to measure my truck and buy the ticket. On Tuesday my truck is going in for an oil change, fuel filter change, and to fix the headlight switch (which I freely admit I broke out of frustration. I should have broken the arm rest, because that would be less annoying).
