Yes I know !!
My belt and tensioner will be in by the weekend so I will get those installed. This weekend I am also going to drain the bleach/ water mix out of the freshwater tank and flush it. I bought a headlight restoration kit so I am planning on trying to get that done too. I need to put the scooter on the rack and figure out how to tie that thing down for the trip. The collapsable wagon and the beach umbrella is arriving today!! Ordering the Aux brake controller today too. Only a few things left to do so I should be OK and not be rushed.

No Kidding !
I got to work and ordered the Aux brake kit to go in the Hummer, that was the last piece I needed so I can tow it. I figure it will be here in a week. Here is what I ordered; https://rvibrake.com/products/rvibra...nt=20046642181. Going to add the tire pressure monitoring stuff later.

The fold able wagon was a hit with little man. I made the mistake of opening the box in the house and he played with that thing for hours last night.He would sit in it for a while and get out, then get back in and watch some TV.He rolled it around the living room and kitchen all evening. I folded it up and put it in the motorhome this morning, hope he does not remember it and drive my wife insane asking about it.
The aux brake is pretty cool, I can add tire pressure stuff for about 250 dollars, that is for the coach and the toad. I will buy the tire pressure stuff in the spring. The aux brake package should arrive on Monday.

He did remember but wife said it passed quickly.
Everything arrived so I can finish the belts this weekend, polish the headlights and then start touching up the inside. Did my annual appraisal at work and I got a dollar an hour raise. Another truck with a transmission replacement came in yesterday afternoon so that's my project for the next 4 or 5 days. My daughter got a job yesterday at Bath and Body works at the mall.

I could more than likely get a supervisor job somewhere if I put an effort towards finding one. But the good thing about this job is I can take off whenever and no complaints from my boss.

I will tell anyone of you chase money in a hob. 1 you will always be changing 2. You will never be happy. My son did that took 2 years to bit him in the butt. Now he running bis own company, that has already it him ( 7 to 10k). A sub rolled a rental skid steer on it side. In their hast to get it upright. The grabbed another skid steer ( non rental) well they turned it over. The rental insurance covered the one. The other one he having to pay out of pocket. The sub did not have insurance my sons construction insurance company is refusing to even tho he pays a $1000 year in premiums
