We had to go to Duluth late yesterday afternoon. We had not been to Duluth/Superior in some time, and it was rather amazing to see absolutely no snow on the ground in either city. It’s no wonder that the Bear Grease dogsled races were cancelled. The harbor is still frozen in though, and it doesn’t look like the Coast Guard has been breaking ice. Not far off, however, the lake is open. It should be an early start to the shipping season, and the docks are full of ore and cargo boats still getting their winter maintenance. The biggest ships, the thousand-footers, only traverse the Great Lakes, as they are too long to go through the locks of the St. Laurence Seaway.
A front wheel bearing went out on the truck coming home yesterday evening, and I will have to tip-toe it to Ashland today to get it fixed. The whole hub assembly has to be replaced, as the wheel bearings themselves are permanently sealed inside. I replaced the other front assembly a few months ago. Up until a couple of years ago wheel bearings could be replaced, but not anymore… GM is still selling us guaranteed obsolescence. Bankruptcy was a good idea.
