Today the "Polar Vortex" that we have suffered throughout took a break. I desperately need to get the ERA washed. Took it to a do-it your-self wash that has a taller outside cover and washed off most of the dirt, sand and salt.
I noticed there are about a dozen small stone chip type rust spots that need attention this spring. On hood, area over the windshield and along the sides and even on the rear doors. The ERA is only two years old but I guess that's the price for living in the cold northern climates.
When I take it in to have it fixed I am also having the body shop removed some of the decals as well. Just too much and it looks like a circus car going down the road with all the swirls etc.
Come spring I need to give it a good detail cleaning inside and out.

Put fourth and possibly last Optima Blue AGM deepcycle battery in my battery cabinet.At 55 Amp hours apiece that gives me 220 amp hours.I say possibly the last because I think I can squeeze one more.These are all from my local Interstate battery store.they get take backs from Costco ,slap their Econo Power label on them and sell them for $90.00 ($80 with old battery return).One year warraty.Interstate is setup to make cables.I brought my own cable and they put the ends on for me with colored shrinkwrap.Very slick.![[image]](http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj524/stanw909/DSCI0345.jpg) .

Worked on the water system. The holding tank, water heater and pump are all under my twin bed so when I wanted to drain the tank, operate the water heater bypass or use pump to add pink stuff for the winterizing I would have to remove my mattress to get to it.
Today I cut tubing and re-routed to make it easy to change with an added door on the side panel.
I have a cutoff valve where the water comes out of the tank and then a "TEE". The third leg of the "TEE" is a short piece of hose, then another cutoff valve and finally a two foot hose.
Now I can cut the first valve to OFF so I can't draw from the water tank and open the other valve and draw Pink Stuff out of its container and fill my water lines. When going camping just reverse the two valves and the pump will pump good water into the lines and flush them out.
Also down there I have an inside water tank drain valve marked green one side and red the other.
I still have to cut a 12" X 12" hole in the side panel and make a door and then just open the door to get to the pink stuff hose, the drain valve and the water heater bypass valves without having to remove my mattress and messing up my bed.

Filled up with propane and exercised the genny. Not time to de-winterize yet. That will happen in a couple of weeks when I head south.

Got a bunch of new LEDs to replace the 1141 incandescent bulbs.
First batch I received is the high brightness cool white 440 lumen Ba15s LEDs.
Here's the quick comparison I did on the bench:

Took it out of storage and ran up and down the highway for several miles until the engine was hot. Started and ran the generator under mild load (forgot to take the electric heater)for about an hour. Replaced one light bulb (the one we use the most) with an led. Put it back in storage.

Tried out the Ultimate MX Hauler that we modified and installed to carry our Vespa. It has a hydrolic lift for easy up and down. Works great and we can keep an eye on it through our back windows and the rear camera.
