WTF II?

Spindle bearing went south a couple of months ago, and just got around to taking a look at it today. When I pulled the hub off.... Inner spindle nut only on the spindle, and it was backed off about six threads. No wonder the damned thing loosened up.
So, I grabs the hub to clean and check it.... again? I found this:
I didn't have time to mess with it any more and needed to get it back together good enough to move it around in the yard to someplace new every time the old woman starts bitchin' about it. So, I cleaned out the bearings good, greased them up, and shot them back in with just the inner nut to retain them.
Welp, I let it down off the jack and then couldn't help myself but to take the critter for a spin. Went down the road about a mile and did Indian Creek a few times. Got back to the house, got out and number 3? I noticed I had positive camber on the bad bearing wheel. Note: When I picked this B2 up in FL back in June, first thing I noticed was negative camber in the r/f wheel.
So you folks be the judge.....tell me....have I really wheeled this sucker two whole weekends on loose bearings? Awwwwwwww.....get out!
