MacGyvered the ATV trailer tire

I took my ATV down to the service station to get a couple of cans of heating fuel. I lost the cotter pin and washer on one of the trailer's wheels on the rough trails and as a result the wheel came off the trailer.

I was not too worried, I just MacGyvered a fix by taking a link from a short length of dog chain I use to keep my tool box from walking off. I took a moment to straighten out the chain link with my pliers then put the tire back on and slipped the makeshift cotter pin in place.

I kept it slow, so it was almost 11pm by the time I made it back home, but the fix-it job made it.

Never insult someone for having grown up watching MacGyver. ;-)
