Earlier tonight I took my to the service station for a couple of cans of heating fuel. On the way I lost the cotter pin and washer on one of the trailer's wheels, just could not take the rough trails I guess. As a result the wheel came off of the trailer.
Wasn't too concerned though, I had a short length of dog chain I use to keep my tool box from walking off. I just took a link from that and MacGyvered a fix. Just took a moment for me to straighten out the chain link with my pliers then I put the tire back on the axle and slipped the makeshift cotter pin in place.
I kept it slow, to keep an eye on the fix-it job, so it was almost 11pm by the time I made it back home, but the fix-it job made it.
Never insult someone for having grown up watching MacGyver. ;-)
