My client carts came in Friday. Jason unloaded them and I intended to put them together today. I figured I would need to put the shafts and wheels on.

. . .

Nope!



The pallet.



Outer packing removed.



Chaos!



Nothing is labeled either. Nothing. I have three different sized carts here.

I dreamed about trying to put them together last night.

That said I have two sticking points, the torsion axel assembly and the order the ball bearings and bushing go in the wheel. Given that I don't think I'm too up the creek without a paddle. I left a message with the shop asking for just a touch of guidance. I'll go back today after working horses to see what I can accomplish.

Chris, ever the optimist, says I'll be at it for weeks. Psh! Naw. I would have gotten the seats together yesterday had a realized I needed a drill. I have the axel on one cart, some of the shafts together. The hole pattern for the riser on Sue's cart doesn't quite match up so I'm waiting to hear if they tell me to just use the wratchet and cinch the sucker down. The u-bolts on the one axle also didn't quite match and I ended up hammering them on and it worked fine so I suspect a little more man-handling will be expected.

I also had a weird dream last night, watching some movie that seemed to be from the late 80's early 90's. It had a bunch of supposedly famous people in it, name titles and an enthusiastic announcer included. The movie was split between live action and drawn animation. It was completely disjointed and made no sense. Chris commented in the dream it was "too British."

OMG! lol My harness came like that, but I least I didn't have to beat it into submission.

I could totally do a harness at this point. I might be able to do it blindfolded, ha! The carts? Not so much! I am figuring it out though, hoping they call me back tomorrow.
