More boat stuff

I put a Bimini top on the boat today. It will be nice to have it so we can get out of the sun on the long days on the boat. We are planning on being out all day on Saturday so we will have plenty of time to try it out. Yesterday we went and used the boat ramp that is about 12 minutes away and launched in the Kentucky River. It was pleasant to be boating up and down the river. There were only two other boats on the part of the river we were on.
I also had to replace the tires on the trailer. The tires had plenty of tread, in fact, they looked like they had never been on the road. The problem was that the sidewalls had weather cracks in them that were really deep. I was a little worried about taking it back on the highway like that.

When I had the tires off I gave the spindle a little spin and I could hear the bearings grinding. I guess it was time to change the bearings and repack the grease. Two trips to AutoZone and I had everything that I needed.
Tomorrow I will put this all back together and go get the trailer tires to put back on. We are going back to the river again and see if we have any success at fishing. The boat has been a little bit of work but we are still enjoying it. It is nice to have time to work on it when I don't need to be using it.
