quoted from jtexas:<br /><br />Reading a Trailers & Towing forum thread about lost wheels reminded me of this.<br /><br />I keep my boat in a storage yard couple miles away, had it at home last weekend doing some maintenance-type stuff, including changing out a leaky rear seal on the trailer hub.<br /><br />Standard operating procedure of course is to put it back on the ground before tightening down the lug nuts, but believe it or not I just now remembered I didn't do that. They're just barely tight.<br /><br />Now, I know I didn't do any harm on the trip back to the yard, but I somehow have to remember to crank 'em down before I take it out again. Might not be for a couple weeks.<br /><br />That's not part of the routine, how the heck am I supposed to remember?<br /><br /><br /> Jtexas....have you gone and tightened the lug nuts YET???

Oh man I think we may have something here...call it a Safety Accountability Group or something, this is good.<br /><br />Actually - I'm taking tomorrow off to work on the boat so I can go fishing Saturday...I stopped typing long enough to attach a reminder to my keychain so now I'm good to go.<br /><br />thanks, Bro!

Re: jtexas

thanks.<br /><br />Joe Pool. Friday was a honey-do day. Today, spent all morning fitting a new floor & storage bin in the boat, finally got to the lake about 3 - caught a half-dozen of these before dark:<br /><br />

<br /><br />So, lugs are tight, the seal seals, wife's happy, fish are biting, not a bad weekend and still one day to go.
