Good morning everybody!
It's been awhile since I was last on here. A lot has changed. First and foremost, I got engaged.
Second, I got a new to me truck. It's a 2005 F250 XLT extended cab short bed 4x4 with the 5.4
I got it back in December, and retired my 94 F150 and sent it to the highway in the sky.
Funny story about that; I saw the truck for sale on a Friday, stopped and grabbed the details, called my mechanic and asked what to look for and got his blessing (I'd been looking for awhile and he was looking for me as well), called the owner and arranged to look at it after work. Called my dad and he picked me up from work to go look at it. Took it for a ride and committed to buying it right then and there. Dad dropped me off at work to get my old truck, and wouldn't you know, it died 3 times on the 2 mile ride home. We called a local salvage yard and tgey came and got it that next Saturday. I was able to drive it up onto the wrecker under it's own power, there's something to be said about that.

Weekend coming up and temperature going down. That makes me smile. I enjoy the cooler weather.
Only couple more weeks of campground comradery. Then camper storage.
Next year busy, March Myrtle Beach (hotel)
I have all winter to plan my Outer Banks 5th wheel vacation.
Tucson, AZ going out with my 5th wheel and follow my son in his Motor home. Will stay in the mountains and visit my other son.

I'm headed up to VT this weekend, Victory State Forest, to do some camping and it looks like it's going to be a nice cool weekend for it.
I'll be in Phoenix, AZ next month for an electrical competition. My first time actually staying in Arizona. I've driven through a few times, but never really stopped or explored. I'm hoping to get some free time to explore, but we'll see. I'd love to make it up around Flagstaff.

Good luck in the competition. 2 questions
Are flying or driving out?
And what is an electrical completion?
