packing and rebuilding a wheel for the trailer

Had a Bob trailer, their redesign didn't work for me, so bought an M-wave, kept the bob hitch, as it's the same size, sold the leftover other stuff for $50.  Now I needed to put a 10cm wide wheel on the trailer, and all I had were wheels off of kiddie strollers, not going to make it a few feet.
So went with the rear 16" wheel off a girls Diamondback I snagged a while back, turned that frame into half of some stilts.
Anyway, the rear wheel was still to wide, so had to remove the worm gear, the brake shoes inside, also removed the drive side to replace it will the bearings part off another coastie wheel, and yes it barely fit.
Now I have a wheel on the trailer that's held on with bolts, and will probably hold up a lot longer than a stroller wheel(true I'm taking an extra with me).


Now I have to true up the wheel, in place and do my best to center it.

Did a good deed, returned a debit card to the Texas Bank location, looked like someone was pulling that magical device out of her pocket and the debit card fell to the ground....I assume the bank people picked it up when they were unlocking the doors on monday. Also found a leather toolbag, with tools in it. This is the hill to get out of Brownwood, as the city is in kind of a bowl that creates sort of a weather bubble to keep the rain out. This is the green sign you can barely see in the first pic. Made it, 9ish miles, not much to see, was looking for those junk stores that were there when I first rode past, they weren't open.  Didn't find my fellow dumpster diver's place either. Here's the toolbag, I gave
