It was another work day. Now that all my motorcycle riding buddies are gone I haven’t been doing any riding, I haven’t had the bike out for a week now. Probably is a good thing because I have a lot of work that needs to be done before we leave. I went right to work this morning on removing some of the old caulking and replacing it with new, I got the ends of all the slide outs done. It was around 1:30 pm when I got done, I had enough of the sun for one day. I have needed to get the front wheel balanced on the truck, so this afternoon I took it to Tampa to have that done. The truck has a shake in it around 60 to 65 miles an hour. It has done this pretty much since the truck was new and I always thought maybe I had a bad tire. Well last year before we left for the summer I had new tires put on the front and still had the same problem. So later I had new tires put on the back and still the same problem. So when we got back last fall I took it back to the place where I got the front tires and told him. He had the truck for three days and couldn’t find the problem and gave me back the money I had spent on the balancing the tires and told me about this place in Tampa. Long story short when I left Tampa to go home I still have the same problem. The guy there did tell me about another truck like mine that had the same problem and he ended up taking it to a place to see if it was the driveshaft and sure enough it was out of balance, after he got the driveshaft balanced his problem disappeared. So when I got home I called the place where he took it and they told me to bring it in. They said they couldn’t get me in until next week. But if I took the driveshaft out myself I could bring it in tomorrow. So I crawled under the truck and remove the driveshaft which turned out to be a bigger job than I thought because it is a two piece drive shaft. So tomorrow morning I will be going to Lakeland. I needed a break from working on the 5th wheel anyways. Cheri worked all day on the illustrations for Nikki’s story book. This evening I got a call from Darren saying if I uploaded my Sky diving video to him he would see what needs to be done to get it uploaded to You Tube. So I loaded it on a flash drive and took it over to Grandma’s to use her computer because she has high speed internet and it would be quicker to do it from there. It still took and hour to get it uploaded. It was after 10:00 pm when I got home and was ready to call it a day.
