It's Friday!!
Progress is always good Jacob!
Called the bike shop and my 4 wheeler should be done today hopefully so I brought the trailer to work with me. I lubed the jack since it was getting to be a pain jacking it up and down. Bolted the new tag on the fender instead of plastic piece under the tail light. Going to repack the bearings at lunch and that will finish the trailer up for the trip. I hope to be completely done with everything by Thursday next week.

Bearing were cool and the grease looked good so I left them alone. I got home from work and test fit the golf cart on the trailer, it just barely fits but it fits.The trailer lights are also good to go. I have my list that I am going to try and knock out tomorrow. I hope the bike shop calls tomorrow and says the 4 wheeler is done.

It's good to know she didn't kill you in your sleep!
Crunch time this weekend to finish up the motorhome. Mainly just cleaning her up and putting our park stuff, tools, and other stuff in. Won't do food till Thursday or Friday.

The motorhome is ready to go!!
I got the tire pressure monitor up and running yesterday,didn't get anything else done yesterday since it was my birthday. We went out for breakfast, stopped in home depot and got a new outlet and it has usb outlets to charge phones, etc. I installed it in the motorhome today right next to the couch where it had a worn out receptacle. I also got a new pair of tennis shoes and a light jacket. This morning we took out all the dishes and linen and washed them. I wiped down all the drawers and we put everything back in. Drained the fresh water tank of bleach water and refilled with 1/4 of a tank of water. Put rain x on the front glass.I put in our park gear, cameras, computer, extension cords, cooler, folding table. Can't put in the inflatables and other halloween stuff because my son would lose his mind. It's all decorating our living room right now. Just have to move the motorhome later this week and attach the trailer, load the golf cart and our clothes. One more trip for last minute food and we will be set!!

Thanks for the Birthday wishes!
It's coming along, moved the motorhome to the gravel part of the back driveway. where I usually park it when we get ready to go somewhere in it. With the rain coming did not want to risk getting stuck in the clay. Waiting on the bike shop to tell me my 4 wheeler is done and ready for me to come get it. I want to top off the gas tank in the cart and then hook the trailer to the MH and then load the cart. Turning on the fridge tomorrow night, one more trip for cold food, load clothes, little mans halloween decorations and we will be ready to hit the road. The wife is excited about getting away for a break.

i got some news today I might be going to chicago in 2 weeks for a month or more
Corportate production is slow, and apparantly us texas guys get it done and they requested me and another coworker to go up there. Ill be painting the machines, on the ground, from bare steel to color, with a full paint booth big enough to house 3 semis and a train, and have access to all tools and materials. The other guy who was up there already for a 2 month stint welding will be going with me to weld again.

Yes little man will be in school in 2 years, trying to do fun stuff/ vacations before we become hostages of the school system.
I could not even imagine being in Chicago in the winter, you can have that.
A month ago I was worried about the AC's working right in the motorhome, glad I checked the heaters! Probably won't need them in Florida but might have to warm up the inside of the motorhome up before we head out.
