April 9th

Well we finally left Troll and Michelle's at about 2:30am and got back to the MH to get some sleep. Got up at around 9am. We had some oatmeal for breakfast and got the day started. We went to go to Lowe's and realized that our brokerage company was right next door so we stopped over there first to take care of some paperwork, over an hr later we made it to Lowe's. Picked up so hex head bolts for the wheel chock that we are putting on the front of the trailer. This way he can drive the bike onto the trailer, steady the bike with it in the chock thing and then manuver the back easier. Then we will put the 4Runner on the trailer. It should be easier to take them on and off from now on. It's a learning experience so we will see how this set up goes.
Then we went and had a quick snack and went over to my dad's place again to pick up Thom's present from him. We then went over to the Eagles club to meet up with him and talked with him for a few. Decided at that point that we are going to stay in Bradenton/Sarasota one more day to take care of some other stuff. We then met up with another friend for some wings, beer and a cigar. Finally got back home again after 1 am, lol.
It's been fun seeing some friends and my dad for this stop. Bradenton and Sarasota both have changed alot in the 7 years that we have been gone. Some places are gone and some new ones opened up but that happens sometimes.
