Mom is getting excited! I am so glad to see that, after the month she has had.


I say make a list of trails you want to do, then have everyone else do it as well, as for me, just being in Colorado is good enough for me, I don't care what trails we do.


I prefer trails with little waterfalls and lots of trees, and rocks to look at, but a mix of them is good too.

I will focus on getting the vehicles dependable, then secondary will be the CBs I will try to have everything done by this weekend, guess if I don't, it may just not get done.

I feel like I will be able to get the CB in my jeep up and going, but no promises at this point. I think getting the tow rig one done is going to be fairly easy, I bought an all in one magnetic antenna (needs tuned still) I may see if Terry has an swr meter I can borrow.
I got my spark plugs last night, so I will probably do one at a time unless I don't have the spark plug wrench, then I will hit Del up to borrow his.

I hope to knock out two more spark plugs tonight (7 and 8)


I will plan to do one, and the second will just be bonus if I get it done.

I got the other four replaced, all 8 are new and replaced now. Truck runs pretty close to the same with the last 4 new as it did with the first 4, but its good to have them done!


Now I can focus on the CB's over the weekend, and start setting out things I am going to take.

Honestly its better to just hire an electrician to do those things. They can do them faster and less risk to you. It may cost a little more, but in the end, its worth it.

Makes sense, but sounds like you had a really rough weekend.
