Good morning SoCal!

Well we got back 9pm last night from our cruise and time in Puerto Rico.

The cruise was our first and will definitely be our last...just not our thing and "format" for a vacation...I can see how some would like that format...but it just isn't our thing...we had a great time...we're all tan...

We purchased a bunch of high end hooch at the duty free store before getting on the plane yesterday...got some great prices too...even for an airport shop!

Two 1 liter bottles of Crown for $18 each

A 1 liter of Patron Anejo Gold for $36

Two 750ml of Bacardi Reserve Limeted rum for $60 each bottle (normally close to $100 per bottle and not sold in the states!)

A 1 liter of Bacardi 8 year old rum for $25

Two 1 liter bottles of Woodford Reserve Bourbon for $35 each (I normally pay $50 for a 750ml bottle!)

I'm now stocked for our New Years eve party tomorrow night!

Hope everyone had a Blessed Christmas and is ready for an awesome New Year!

Glad to be home...I'll be back in SoCal come Monday evening!!!

Joe.

If you're going to do extensive under-dash wiring, that's the way to do it! Lots of space, and you can keep an eye out for sharp brackets, etc, and give yourself the room to tape everything back up into a bundle.

Just a thought, you might want to also use split-loom under there to prevent abrasion.

Safe travels back to Cali Joe! While at Calico we wandered some of the rock hounding sites looking for Jasper, agate, etc. Let the boys loose with some shovels, small pick axe and was amazed how long they dug. Was helpful that the side of the wall crumbled down and created the illusion of progress!
