Bed liner goes in tommorow. Window tint after the first of the year. Need to get a rock guard for when I tow the camper. I see fender flares in the future. My son has already told me I need 20' black American racing wheels

Looks good!
Didn't get to do much this weekend, the wife slept most of the time. I did get to work on the yard yesterday afternoon. Little man was happy because he got to play outside, he loves being outside.

Super slow at work. We get a piece in here and there but all in all it's pretty dead. Getting the shop cleaned up since there is nothing else to really do. Going to see if I can fix the cup holder in the dodge over lunch, just for something to do.

Drove the Hummer to work yesterday to change a bad 02 sensor. The one I got from Amazon would not work, different connector. Cleaned the old sensor and reinstalled and so far no check engine light. Going into work this morning and driving the Maserati to change the oil, that will catch me up on maintenance.

Glad you have a place you can work on stuff inside.
just about got the camper loaded for next week. We are leaving after church tomorrow going to North Shore resort (koa) on lake Oconee. Will be over there all week.
Got a 40" 1" breaker and 3/4" 750ft/lb torgue meter for dump truck tires.

It's nice to have a flat place with everything I need to get it done quickly and easily.
The wife's car is serviced, I washed and waxed it, I also detailed the inside and filled with it with fuel. Fixing to head home and watch little man so she can do a little more shopping without him.

Everyone always over packs! Our daughter was the worst. We are still trying to get the motorhome organized the way we like it.
Yucky day but we went into town anyway. The wife and I both got an early christmas present for each other, we both got an apple watch. I also picked up a new ipad mini with cellular, I got it instead of a new radio. I found an ipad holder that goes into the cd slot of your radio instead of the suction cup or vent mount. It will work perfect for using the ipad on road trips. I even saw on amazon they have a wireless backup cam that will work on ipads too.
Taking the suburban to work to bring home little man's grave digger ride on toy home tomorrow. We have Tuesday and Wednesday off with pay. I will just have to keep it hidden in the truck till Tuesday night.

I don't over pack maybe an extra change of clothes. We made over here. Concrete pad and was still off level a little one inch low on one side.
Went to turn the heater on did not lite. After they adjusted the sail switch it was working good at the house Friday. Donna got pissy about having to use the burners for heat. The gas fire pit I just bought and worked good at the house it not putting out right. The propane may be too cold. The grill worked good. I look at the fire pit tommorow.

Campers and motorhomes have one thing in common, what worked at home seems to NOT work correctly when you get to your destination. I'm sure you will get it all working right.
I love my new apple watch, it's pretty cool. I changed the face from a regular watch to a Mickey Mouse face, my wife laughed and said she should have known.

I call the dealer when they open and get it back over there when I get home. The clubhouse has tv with direct. Also use up one thing of propane. At the house left the heater on but down. The refer was in gas for 2 hours on the tow over. Glad I had the second one for the grill and fire pit

Merry Christmas!!
Started my coffee and going to wait for little man to wake up. He is going to freak out when he sees his Grave Digger. This is the first year I think he kinda gets it about Santa. Had to believe he will be 4 in a couple of days.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!
I really loved the warmer weather since it is usually right around freezing on Christmas morning. Reminded me of Christmases in central Florida when I was growing up. Little man got in his big grave digger, pushed the gas pedal and it threw him back in the seat and it scared him, so needless to say he didn't ride it but about 5 feet. He has to work up his nerve at new stuff so I'm not sweating it. He played all day with rest of his new toys and loved it. I have a truck bed full of old boxes and wrapping paper that I will toss in the dumpster at work.
