So, Chuck got his engine installed right, because that was the whole point of the trip right???

I wasn't easy. When we were leaving and stopped to get gas, Andrew saw that a tire on the trailer was not just flat, but shredded. We left a big trail of smoking rubber to the gas pump. We went across to Wal-freakin'-Mart and bought a new tire. ( a story, all it's own ) Made terrific time getting from Chuck and Sue's to Andrew's house and then the wheels started coming off. When I left Andrew's I went around the block to get back to the highway and as I was turning a corner, by the graveyard with all the glow-in-the-dark crosses, I heard a loud scraping sound and a bang. I called Andrew and jokingly told him that if anybody was missing a fence or a mailbox to admit nothing. About 30 minutes from my house I felt a lot of bumping and turbulence and I knew that it was a trailer tire. But it was on the far side from the one we bought. There was simply no freakin' way I was going to stop after a six hour drive when I was so close to home. So, it was like my last few miles coming home from my TRIP OF A LIFETIME, I just kept going, coming in like a shot up B-52. Only one engine and no fuel. WITH ONE FINAL OUNCE OF BLOOD AND COURAGE, I pulled up at my house. Well, the rim took little damage, but the tire is GONE. NOT THERE. IN A DIFFERENT PLANE OF EXISTENCE. It has shuffled off to the great tire beyond. It is eating dinner with Jesus. This hobby is hard, just plain hard and expensive. If it wasn't for the people, it just would not be worth it at all. Stand by. Tomorrow we will be announcing the NOT ANNUAL, NEVER AGAIN, MURRAY TRANNY TRANPLANT AND BBQ'ED BRISKET AT CHUCK AND SUE'S WITH SOURDOUGH PANCAKE AWARDS. 
 If you weren't there, too bad for you, Baby.
