October 2019 Chat Thread

October is here!
The leaves are starting to turn colors and fall from the trees. Fishing them out of the pool has now become a daily task. You would not know it was really fall with the excessive heat. Looks like a little bit of a break this weekend.

Yesterday after lunch was the complain to the service manager day, bad part 99% of them had nothing to do with the work we did. Started getting off at 5 this week and love it.
Did the rehearsal last night. Everything is set up and ready to go.
The new command tablet won't be delivered till tuesday, I still have next weekend to finish everything up.

The wedding went off without a hitch!! The armory is cleaned up so don't have to go back and do anything. The wife is exhausted, she says she will be the first one in the motorhome when we get ready to leave on our vacation! It started to rain after the wedding started and stopped just before it was over, perfect timing. Little man was really good during the whole thing. The DJ started playing and we was dancing around in his little suit saying : It's a party!

I promised little man a new halloween blow up decoration if he was good so it looks like we are going to have to go get one today. If not I will hear about it all day long.

I said the same thing! I added we can make it out to the car before they know we are gone. I know she loves him, I think he loves her but he just has some growing up to do.
The wife is taking her sister back to the airport so it's me and little man. Helping pick up the house so the wife has little to nothing to do tomorrow, she needs the rest.
Next weekend will be full steam ahead getting everything done for vacation.

While at Lowes yesterday I bought a new craftsman tool set and screwdrivers to go in the motorhome. This one is nice and has drawers. The one I did have in there folded in half and I hate it.

New tool set

The new command center tablet came in today for the RV tow brake system. I got everything paired for the brake stuff, it was easy and it won't let you do anything else if they are not paired. I just need to do the tire pressure sensor pairing this weekend. Tomorrow night I am going to try and pull the trailer around and check the lights. Blew a far amount of leaves in the front yard tonight, just the beginning of a long battle!

Didn't get to test the trailer lights on the motorhome yesterday. The wife sold a huge animated dinosaur and I had to meet the people to sell it to them. So after work before it got dark was shot for me. I ordered Toy Story 4 DVD and picked it up at Walmart on my way home. It was the move I tried taking little man too and he freaked out and we had to leave. The first campground does not have TV cable and I have not upgraded the Sat dish on the motorhome so I figured that would be something to watch since we are heading to Disney and going to be riding the slinky dog coaster.
