Twolines Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Anyone in the McLeod BC area? Dad ran his trailer off the road and tore the front axle off the spring. He's going to unhitch and head back to prince george in the morning to round up some u bolts and maybe some heavier springs. We located some trailer shops there and of course napa....any other ideas on what to do, where to look? Any help is appreciated.... Also if you saw me on the side of the hwy on my knees praying, I'm not crazy.....it was just finally time for me to ask God for help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardtail Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 That's not a heavily populated area and I can't ever recall any RP members from there 🥺 PG is probably your best bet, hope the repairs go well and just a blip on getting back together with pops 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twolines Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Update. Dad made it back with parts and we got the axle put back under the trailer. We left McLeod around 4. He trained me well and between the 2 of us we got it done. We are in Dawson Creek right now and he's cooking breakfast for dinner. It's been hard. We have been yelling at each other under the mental stress of it all. Somehow I think this is all supposed to happen. We even talked of my mom(she passed a while ago, they divorced when I was 3). I haven't bonded with my dad in a long time and I fear this trip will be the last of this "hard" bonding... at the same time there will be future bonding over softer things like fishing and tinkering on projects together. I don't know that our relationship will ever be perfect but I'll take what I can get! Thank u guys for responding! We really were pretty screwed there for a minute and I really had no idea we'd get through it. I need to learn to have a little more faith in myself and the old man. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

searcyfarms Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 We dont get to pick our parents anymore than they get to pick what nonsense we decide to indulge - all i can say is my dad will be my dad and i will be his son till we are both gone no matter who goes first - ive screwed up plenty asa son and dad - none of us were trained as parents we just did our best at the time - im so thankful for Gods grace or i would hv been struck by lightening long ago - so glad you both got to sort thru it all and help each other in a rough time im glad your dad is ok and didnt get hurt in the trailer incident - im sure he appreciates your help n support - sorry about your mom too 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acem Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Be glad you still have the chance to be with your dad. Mine passed in 95. I was 28 and he was 68. We were pretty tight. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took junior under my wing when he finished school and taught him compressors and hanging black pipe, it was good, rewarding is the word I would stand with for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
