Small little project, but I found a couple of GFCI outlets in Menards that had LED nightlights built into them that automatically turn on/off when it senses light. Nice to have in the bathrooms for those midnight stops so we don't have to turn on the bright lights and wake others up.

Finally brought home a camper that Jamie approved of, a 1984 25' Fleetwood Prowler:
Previous owner is currently filing for a lost title but since it was registered last year I don't think I'll run into much issue, have a Bill of Sale just in case. Haven't thoroughly tested all the systems yet but the furnace, stove, and lights were all in working order. They threw in the load leveling hitch and 100 gallon propane tank to sweeten the deal when I got there, picked it up for about 1/3 of what they usually sell for too. Can't wait to try it out

I cain't finded it. They weren't bad though. Did find a place on the north side of my house where the guttering was pulled away from the house and the wood was gone behind it. Gonna have folks come out and see if'in it's covered by my life time siding and gutting thing.

Tonight after returning from a family outting to the local Sirloin Stockade, I worked on the garage, I moved things around in circles for a while, the shifted them to the left and then the right, but in the end, they were still in the garage on the floor.
So, a project I started last night, I finished up today. I now have 5.1 Bose surround sound in my garage. It sounds awesome in the garage. It motivates me to spend more time in the garage.
Now, once I get a small shed built out back to move the stuff that I just keep moving in circles in the garage, I may have the room in there to get some other projects done in there and the motivator of music. : )
