Loaded the CBI this morning in preparation for tomorrow's Llano branch work session. Before loading the rail-mower I decided to grease the axles and the wheel bearings. That was a good idea because it took about 14 strokes of the grease gun for each axle and bearing before grease came out. Then I winched up the rail-mower as well and secured the load.
I tested the trailer rear lights and found one light, the one with the license plate, was blown. So I tried replacing it and then noticed something strange. The side marker lamp was on the inside and the clear plastic (to let the light shine on the license plate) was on top. Eventually it penetrated my brain that there was something major wrong about that setup and I suddenly realized the light was installed upside down. Took out the wrench and turned it around, went out to buy some extra 1157 turn light bulbs and finally the rear light worked as well as being properly oriented. But I have had this trailer for almost two years and that was the first time I noticed that problem. I checked the other rear light and it also was installed upside down. Will turn it around on Sunday; at least there's nothing supposed to be illuminated underneath it.
