It was a perfect day for driving. We were laying down the miles singing some songs together, reading together and laughing at each other’s jokes when I look in the mirror and see an epic display of sparks spraying from the trailer. Parts start ripping off the side and leaving a trail of debris behind. I’m putting everything I can into the brake and it won’t stop. Then I woke up!! That was the dream I had the night we moved from Phillie to NYC. You see, Ava’s leg was broke. Basically there is a threaded part that stripped out. It still had a little bite but not much. So there was nothing really to hold the leg in position….down or up. So when hitched up the leg could just drop out to the ground and start dragging and that is exactly where my subconscience went in that dream. How we made it from Philadelphia to NYC on those bumpy roads without that actually happening…well, had to be an angel holding the leg up the whole way.
Our time in NYC was up and with a long day ahead of us we wanted to get on the road by 10:00 which meant we should be hooked up by 9:30 and heading to the dump station. And we were on track to do that but retracting Ava’s leg revealed an issue! The exact issue I had dreamed about. Fortunately, when we retracted the good leg Ava’s bad leg just continued to hang down like a sad broken leg should. I got some cord and fashioned a sling for her and all this set us back about 30 minutes.
