First day, I managed to leave my card at a winery where I visited, then had to pay cash for my hotel room. Then I had to drive 162 miles r/t on Day 2 to retrieve my card.

Now on Day 3, I'm in Omaha, and earlier today I got hit by a huge gust of prairie wind that almost tipped my trailer over. Both left wheels came off the pavement at 60+ mph, then the trailer rocked back and forth off the ground 2 more times before selling back on the pavement. Thought I had just bought it for good.

When I arrived safely at the next exit, I called my trailer dealer and told them they can have their wind sail back. The manager said he would get back to me with options. No word yet. Gonna be a fight, I'm sure.

I'm still headed to South Dakota to take care of business, then probably right back to Tupelo to stick that trailer where the sun don't shine. Yeah, wind blows trailers, but it shouldn't be enough to kill you, lol.

My next possible move is to buy a hardshell pop-up truck camper to install in the bed of my F-150.

Wow, I know that had to be scary as hell. How about one of those old silver bullet looking campers.
