Colonel Ken,
I think I know you better than that. I believe you would have worked out some kind of solution to the problem just like me. It may have been a different solution. The trailer is not bad but the tires were the issue.

I told the owner it is not leaving my place without new tires. I will drop if off tomorrow or Thursday for 5 new shoes before it goes any farther. I also found a spare jack and lug wrench in my hangar that will go along with it. I also need to fix all of the lights before it hits the road again. The owner is another 95 miles away from me. The trailer needs to be at a farm between Green Bay and Madison, Wisconsin around Feb 3 to move a horse 80 miles to the University of Wisconsin. Then a few days later to move the horse again to a stable 40 miles west of Chicago.
