I noticed that my trailer flooring was loose.  I neglected to use lock nuts on the bolts so 11 nuts were missing and 10 bolts were gone.  I guess they found someones windshield on the freeway.  
I bolted it back down, with lock nuts this time. I also added $36 worth of lumber to make it more usable..
It's not exactly up to par with Pop's yet, but it will get the job done.
I hope by next year I have a cargo van again.

to make it more usable.

I am using it to haul off all of my metal and sculpting stuff.  I am not doing any more sculpture. Except for other artist, still have to eat.  I hope I will be out of that trade soon.

If it's any consolation, I'm about to spend several hundred on my trailer Dagg.   Luckily My brother runs a panel beating/paint shop so hopefully he can call in a few favours to save me a few bucks....  
I don't think I'm ever gonna have trailer as cool as Pops....

Trailers looking good Dagg. The bike looks good to. Are you thinking about a 4-stroke?

No more sculpting? Are you gonna do the Autism one?
