Who has time to sleep?

Wow!  With everything that's been going on with work and prepping for AZ and now being on Jury duty to top it off, I feel like I'm going non-stop from the time I wake up until I go to bed.

Prepping for AZ:
  1. Well I was informed that Arizona law, (precisely A.R.S Section 28-958.01) requires that all trucks that are bigger than 3/4 ton have mud flaps.  I don't see an exemption for out of state or 'just passing through' either when I read the law or talk to anyone so guess what I did?  I got mud flaps installed on Bodie so she'll be AZ compliant.
  2. Investigating a new piece of equipment that I may look into getting for Chappy.  It's called the TOGO Roadlink C2 and it's pretty cool.  It creates you're own wifi by expanding the range of available wifi networks and using its built in 4G AT&T connection.  Best part, AT&T offers an unlimited data plan for this guy at $360 a year.  That is pretty decent.  
  3. Minor repairs.  
    1. I've got some trim to secure, 
    2. a bed lift that needs to be re-attached, 
    3. a shelf that needs better support, and 
    4. some smoke alarm batteries to replace.
  4. Additions.  
    1. Looking to move the spice rack from our kitchen to Chappy's kitchen.  It's currently attached to the side of the cupboards that are going to be removed by the contractors soon, so I'm going to pull it out and mount it somewhere in Chappy.  
    2. Looking for a good stool or chair to use as my office chair in the back bunk room.  
    3. Putting in some extra storage devices as well.
  5. Prep for the house
    1. Got some neighbors that are going to watch the house and help me wrangle the contractors too. Maybe more on that later
    2. Putting in remote temperature and humidity sensors that I can remotely monitor.
    3. A few extra cameras won't hurt either.
    4. An outdoor keypad for our smart lock
    5. Putting in a new Garage door opener this Saturday.  Our neighbor has an extra that he wants to get rid of.  We'll be able to remotely monitor it as well.
    6. Close down checklist for the house before we leave.  Turn off water, hot water heater etc.
I won't get into everything that is going on with work or other plans that Karen has made for me.  Good thing I keep lists, or I would be lost!

There and back again....

We had a great two weeks in Michigan.  It was nice to visit family and friends although extremely hectic since I only took 1 day off during the time.  It seems we were constantly busy, going places to visit people, having people stop by, or driving.  Still it was a good time. Plans from here?  Well, we've decided to cancel our annual Gettysburg trip again.  This time it seems that there is just too much to do in preparation to leave again for AZ, so we've decided to stick around.  The Covid would limit what we can safely do too much for us to go this year. We will however, still be making our trip back to Michigan in October, immediately followed by our return trip to AZ!  More to come as we get closer. Karen and her Mom chilling at camp Tyler We had a special visitor! Sunset behind us lights up the tops of the trees Puppy Tax.  No it's not ours.  My Buddy Shannon and his family just got this cutie.  She's adorable.

Missing Chappy

Image
It's not even been two entire weeks and I miss Chappy.  Since we took him out to the summer campground I've been really wanting to go out there and this long holiday weekend is the perfect time. The site that we were put at is very nice.  It has a deck that was made by the last residents and it works perfectly for us.  We'll be heading out there after I get done with work and I can't wait to sit on the deck and enjoy the fire pit tonight with a cold beer and maybe my pipe.

Long time no update - So I'll make it a long post!

 Sorry for the long delay in updating here.  There has been a lot going on and we are gearing up for even more activity over the next month. So what has been happening?  Well, the fun never stops that is for sure.  Work activities aside we have been doing a decent amount of work around the house, but you'd never know by looking at it.  A few weeks back we had a tree fall on the house.  Luckily, there was no Major damage, just some gutters that still need to be put back up and a couple of scratches, and dents.  The only real damage luckily was to my awesome Weber grill.  Poor guy had a wheel bent over that now needs replaced, but with the weight of a large tree on him it is impressive that he just has a tiny dent otherwise and works like brand new.  I'm no product spokesman for Weber, but they make an excellent, tough grill that lasts.  Can't say that about my last Sams Club grill that rusted out completely in 3 years despite only moderat...
