Weather and Rental Cars and Motorcycles and still RV Remodels to finish!

Good thing today is a short day... and the weather is good!

Lots of odds and ends to do 'fore we leave for 10 days...

I need to ride Slick from Eaton, over to Fort Collins to make the deal on a rental car to roll to Tucson... then whistle on home and pack my warbag for the trip... before I ride back in with herself... as soon as she gets home, to pick up that borrowed car and take it home...

Do a lil' housecleaning... in case 'they' need in while we're gone... few other things... 'cause tomorrow we'll head south as soon as I get off... which of course... the 'bossman' changed the hour of... to 4 hours later...

Yes sir... I'll be glad when I've got myself built back to 100% on my own string again... I might not be a control freak... but having purty much none of it... just a leaf in the wind for whatever the 'bosses' decide... fits me about like a mini skirt on Rosie O'donnel! :-O

Thomas made a suggestion on that 'Box' I need behind the new recliner in the Fifth Wheel / 5er. Told me he'd done a similar swap a few years ago. He just put a rubbermaid in under his seating through a compartment door in the same place...

... as soon as we get back I'm gonna have to do some sharp cipherin' and see if I can carve a compartment box in under the seat... I know there is a lil' space there on our couch... don't know exactly how much...

I don't want to leave it as it was... with that door pretty much just open to the inside... it was kinda drafty in this north country! :-) so... I want to take that good Birch plywood I have and build a sealed compartment... But if I can enlarge it a mite under that seat... all the better.

The silicone seam on the Vinyl cove base seems to hold ok... doesn't impress me with being terribly strong... still have to do the same with the polyurethane adhesive... that part of trimming out the floor is gonna have to wait on our return...

I'll need to push that stuff to the back of my head for a few days... or I'm likely to cook some wiring!...

Chillin' on the road is a pretty good way to do that... and this will actually be my first opportunity for a "Road Test" of that lil' MiFi 2200 air card/hot spot I've been using from Verizon for a few months now...

It's worked pretty good around here... where the signal is intermittent... with speeds often in excess of 1000 kbps and frequently over 1400... I'm curious to see how it'll perform where the signal is a mite more reliable... it sure is easier to hook up and use than a card plugged into the laptop itself... combined with its' ability to hook up a few other devices... like HER laptop... at the same time... makes it a pretty handy gizmo... just a cell phone size deal and it, for us, replaces the need for a router...

... anybody have an interest in a slightly used, air card capable, cradlepoint router? :-)

The day awaits me... Hope the one ya'll are headin' into treats you fine.

Take Good Care
Brian
