Mrs Red Devil and I made a trip to Meridian, Ms to check on our house and property. The house was in good shape and just as we had left it. The yard needed mowing and it took me two days to mow it. We rented a Pensky Truck to empty a 10X30 storage unit we had 1/2 full of stuff. We moved it to the house and tossed out quite a bit of stuff we will never need. This well save us $100/month in rent on the storage unit. The truck only cost us $49 for a day rental. Worth the cost. We loaded up our little utility trailer with items we needed and missed in our first move to Marshall, Tx. We drove back Wed. which was two days earlier than we planned. Seems like we are magnets for paths of hurricanes and we left early to try to avoid the weather problems which worked out great. But it was a long drive back because the utility trailer became unstable over 55 mph. So it was 55 or slower for the 350 mile drive.

Cashmere enjoyed visiting her old home running all over the place. My pear tree was loaded with big ol’ pears and we picked all that were ready. The fig trees were thriving but I suspect the guy we hired to mow the yard picked them clean. So no figs to savor. Drats!

Last time we had to rent a truck, it cost us $150.00 for 1 day. We had to rent it on a Saturday after we got to Dad’s house to remove his furniture for him.

We had no rental trucks in our area that would rent a truck to go out of town. On the bright side, we were able to make good time in our car going to Dad’s house.

I used to get upset while towing my ute trailer too, it would wag back and forth at 53mph. Other people would be flying with trailers doing well over the 70 speed limit. Why can't I go 70? Well, after a little searching I got it figured out. The trailer's front end was up, the trailer was catching air under it. I changed the ball mount to a lower one and that solved the problem. When we moved the trailer to Tx, I ran with everybody else on the road and the trailer tracked perfect right behind the truck. Now both my trailers have a slight nose down attitude and tow well at speed, well enough to get me a 73 in a 55 zone ticket! Just a thought, you could have something else wrong.

I know your dog was happy to see the old homestead, and you too, to see your pears.
