Bringing 2 new canopies, but forgot to get something for weighting or tying canopies down. If anyone has anything of use please bring.
If there is no wind, it won't matter, but, you know, it's Florida.

There are some bricks in the trailer. Not sure what they are for.

Trailer is on sight and I just got back. Ready for bed.

Also, the trailer needs new decals with the updated website info.

Light work just fine but it was kinda scary driving in the hard rain and puddles. Wasn't sure of the exact condition of the trailer tires. I just slowed down.

The bricks are from the timing light system, which was a couple of milk crates with the lights mounted in them. We used them to hold down the milk crates. Haven't messed with them since Howard built those nifty light mounts, and of course now we're using a different system entirely. Those bricks aren't heavy enough to hold down a canopy, though -- you need some concrete blocks for that. When I bring a canopy, I hook the tie-downs to my extra wheels, and even then I'm not always sure they're heavy enough!
