March 16th, 2026 – Dammit; Spring is Close!

I saw the cardiologist a couple weeks ago and everything was fine, but he limited me to lifting no more than 20lbs. Other than immediately after my bypass surgery, this is the first I have had anyone limit how much to pick up. It was a real pain being limited while trying to finish emptying the house.

However, I discovered another issue with it as I was moving the trailer over. I opened up the side hatch and got a wrench out to pull the stabilizers up and I saw the monstrosity known as my equalizer hitch in the compartment. I had to put it into the receiver on my truck.

It weighs 100 lbs.

This hitch is the same reason I had to have hernia surgery a few years ago right after i got my trailer. I remember picking up the hitch and suddenly there was a weird pain. It is pretty heavy & easy to get hurt trying to install it.

So, this presents a real dilemma. I cannot be hoisting this hitch around per cardiologist orders; I am going to need to get rid of the trailer and that’s pretty much the bottom line. I also need a newer vehicle so this may actually be an opportune time to do both.

Yeah, it was cold and blowing but made it through okay. It is warming up in time for the first day of Spring – a very welcomed change.

That is it for now. See you again soon.
