IT SURE WAS MONDAY! After work, I decided to mow the grass at my garage, which is 15 miles west of where I live in another town. As I was going down the highway in my 85 F250 with the window down, a couple of times I smelled something funny. Like something was getting hot. About two miles from town, the truck started shaking like a tire was about to throw a belt. I slowed down and it went away. I was almost convinced that it was the road when it happened again, this time I pulled over still smelling the hot smell. I pulled on all four tires to see if they were loose, nope. None looked like it had thrown a belt. Then I noticed a little bit of smoke coming out from underneath the truck so I looked underneath. The carrier bearing had siezed on the driveshaft and was spinning around inside the rubber cushion. Smell identified. I limped it the1 1/2 miles into town at about 20 MPH. All the time thinking how glad that I had left my 81 F150 at the garage and not taken it home (if I had, I would have just rode an ATV back home on the dirt roads). As I was going up the street to my garage, I noticed that there was a camper sitting in my yard. ***!?!? I recognized it and realized that it was supposed to be in the yard next door and I knew the kid that did it because he did something similar once before. So I how had to make room in the junk yard (might as well be) next door. I figured out where to put it and moved it out of my yard. It had only been about two weeks since I had mowed, but with all of the rain we got this year, the grass was TALL. By the time that I got done, it was almost dark, so I loaded the mower and other stuff into the F150 and headed home. I did stop to give the kid a hard time about leaving crap in my yard. I got there at about 5:30 and didn't make it home until a little bit after 9. It usually only takes me about an hour to mow there. So now I get to change out a carrier bearing this weekend. I guess one thing went right this evening, there was almost a full tank in the F150 so I didn't have to get some gas before I went home.
