Like chickens on a junebug

Well, the Boles has been down at a truck/r.v. business for a few days getting the axle work done, the new steps welded on, and I am replacing the split rims with new ones and running the tires I bought on the new ones,but I will change them out to tubeless.  I will use one of the split rims for a spare.  While the trailer was down there, next to the busy thoroughfare, so many people stopped in to look at it, the poor guy could hardly get any work done.  Thankfully, I had locked it up and had the curtains all down, or it would have been worse.  They were just hanging out looking at the OUTSIDE.  He had to relate the barn find story to all the lookie loos.  Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I'm chomping at the bit waiting to get the trailer back so I can haul it to the body shop and have the hitch painted.  It definitely attracts attention.
Trying to get our "business" cards done with a pix of the Boles on it, but they photo-shopped off the hitch in the pix, so it looks like it will tip forward.  I told them to re-do them.
Found CHEAP insurance thru the Good Sam club's affiliation with GMAC.  Anyone out there had any experience with them?  They couldn't give me a $ value on the trailer (neither could I) or what they would pay me if it got smashed up.  Said they'd check 5 states to see what other ones were worth (yeah, right...good luck with that!).  But, for $55/yr. I guess I'm not out too much.
The wife is still shopping for 50's patio furniture....I can envision getting hauled into every farm sale from here to WA.  Geez, what have I gotten myself into?
