Morning all, this post is meant for yesterday. Had an electrical problem the TV DVD had no power. The electric blanket tripped the breaker although I reset the breaker still no power. So I had to hookup RV and drive to dealership. My first time through town and traffic lights onto the freeway. Found out I did not reset the breaker properly there's a trick to it. Good practice driving for sure and I think I did very well. Uncle Steve stayed back with Duke.

Morning all, wow last night was cold, here's what happened. Uncle Steve , he went to sleep early last night and I stayed up having a nice chilled glass of Macadamia nut liq.
I turned on the heater in the dark and went to sleep. I woke several times a little cold but figure I would wait till time for get up. Uncle Steve went to bathroom and told me my bedroom was fricken cold yes fricken cold he said.
Then he said his electric blanket was not working as good as the first night. The yellow light was blinking he don't know why. He did not have the cord plugged on all the way into the blanket. I plugged it in and jacked up the heat, well needless to say I am having a cup of Lions French Roast. Oh and why was my room so cold, I turned on the fan by mistake so the a/c fan was on all night.
One more click and the a/c would have bee on. Remember boys and girls, right is heat and left is cold. They should have made the switches seperate. And face the controls when you turn something on and don't do it in the dark. Now the RV is toasty and java is lovely. Happy Day to all.

RV Hitch
Aloha all
Woke up very early this morning to take the truck to the RV center to install the 5th wheel hitch. The entire process took about two hours. They installed the Reese 15k Pro Series Adjustable hitch and a 7 pin wiring harness. I did not have to install a brake controller as thought because my Ford truck already has a brake controller, which I played with when I got the truck but had no idea what it was for other than for towing.
When I am towing the RV, and press the truck brake, the trailer brake also engages which slows down the trailer. I can also slide the switch and manually stop the trailer for various reasons. Some of those I still have to figure out. It cost about $1500 for the whole setup but now I can tow my 5th wheel.
See ya Greg, Duke, and Uncle Steve

OK folks the day is finally here. Oficial retirement starts today. Getting to airport was stressful as usual, thanks dad and roxane for help this morning.
Had problem with firearms on plane. Almost forgot to declare them and then did not have lock to secure the case. Followed HA policy which was wrong according to Federal policy. But I am in the air now next stop LA...... Yeah baby......
