    Don't you just love it...

    when you start a project that should take an hour to an hour and a half to complete and 3 hours later you're putting it back together without being able to finish the project.

    Inside grease seal is leaking on the boat trailer. No big deal, have done it numerous time. Pick up the seal and head to the garage to git-r done. Get the tire off, remove the caliper. Now here's where it get good, Timmy toolhead at the trailer factory using a pneumatic wrench rounds of the head of the bottom bolt. I've got a set of rounded bolt head removers but the space is too tight to use them. So I drop the axle for a little more room. That doesn't work either...

    After assessing the situation I can only think grinding off the head of the bolt will work... Hand grinder is at the lake house, 4 hours away... So I added some grease to the hub and put it all back together... Maybe next week...

    It's High Life time... Damn ain't life grand... Dan
