Got our new Forest River pull-behind!

 

Signed the final paperwork, worked out additional protection, purchased a few additional bits to get us started, and took her for a test drive.

The truck doesn't even feel the weight of it, very much unaffected.

I did feel, even with the special hitch, some very minor buffeting while traveling on the I-17.  Not bad though.  So we are ready to get into it...  our first trip is next Thursday at Wickenberg.

Camping

Summer has officially arrived here. Today is the last day of school for the kids, tomorrow we go camping.

It should be fun, we are meeting up with some friends from Cub Scouts and Sandi's parents plan on showing up as well. We will be bringing one of our dogs with us, the other creatures are staying home this time.

I've lined up a buyer for my current system and most of the components for my new system have arrived. When all are here I will document putting the system together and installing/running Mac OS X on it. I will post this information on my website, http://www.mikesjunkyard.com. (The site will be up and down a little during the installation process).

Work has been very busy which is very nice. I like to have things to do, and not have to sit and wait for more. I think I might thrive in the "we have 2 minutes to implement a complex new feature!" scenario.

That's it for now!
