Oh, it's not that bad. He's just been my mascot for a couple of decades and started as a "news reporter".

Close, but no Don Henley.
Actually found it. Can't believe it's still out there after all this time.

Installed a pet barrier so we can now carry the dog in the back of the BS.
Hauling 900 lbs of early 1900's era brick left over from a demo. Plan to use it for a herringbone platform in front of a shed that I hope to turn into a sauna. There is a wooden deck platform there now that's wet-rotted. Dont want to replace it twice in my lifetime.
Here's the shed last winter:

5 months later, and phase 1 is complete. Now I've got to develop phase 2.

The Collie is her daily, but she did drive the BS on half of the Hill Country Route yesterday. I might not get it back now. LoL

I put my rack on this week to go camping and my back power panel I installed a couple years back was dead. Took about 4 hours of troubleshooting to find that a butt connector had corroded from moisture infiltration due to my poor weather insulation. The entire black heat shrink was full of green corrosion and it was losing over 7v at the junction. So I replaced this piece and everything was back on track, but due to the delayed start we stayed at a campground which is not at all normal for us. But still fun! We put our heater (it is North Idaho) and our PullKitchen to use again.
Also I got in the new 5 gallon Rotopax which fits perfectly on the back of my PullKitchen. It was built to hold two 2 gallon units, so it’s now just one tank and adds an additional gallon.

I was gonna do an elbow piece for the pick up line and then got lazy and just used a heat gun to create more bend in the pick up. Haha

I was thinking of starting a thread for my slow and bumpy progress on my truck...seems like this thread would be hijacked as I have a lot going onbut not sure of a better spot? advice on forum etiquette? best way to go about it? thank for your patience.

The fact that you asked shows a lot! There is a section for build threads. I started mine about 10 months ago and just kept adding to it! It does take time and more effort than I expected trying to “pause” to take pictures while trying to accomplish a task. Best O’luck!

Spent the weekend making progress on my new camp cooking drawer. I still need to get the pump, plumbing, and electrical lined out so I can get the shell on and painted but I'm eager to get it back into the Xterra and get back out there again.
