Packing to go to lawn mower races at Mt Pleasant Michigan next week. Family gathering to watch younger brother from Florida race. Planned on leaving next Wednesday but with all the rain and flooding here in Oklahoma pointless to wait and try to work. Going early and more relaxed trip sounds good. Just had to move up make ready schedule.

12" wow, I didn't have the room, closet doors were in the way. Great to hear you like it.

Replaced the Heki handles. This post http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/22751303/print/true.cfm was extremely helpful to know how to get the shocks loose and pin out due to how the pin is captured with a button cover. That was actually a pain in the neck to do considering one of the gas shocks is dead and how little we actually open the skylight. We do love the light and stars from it, however.

I also changed the porch light to a M4 led. Changed the broken/damaged tv antenna and added a HDTV add on part to the Winegard. If you are wondering, the gear that raises the tv was actually broken into two pieces. I'm not really sure how.

Shopped for a second tv and spent some time determining how I will get power to the new tv location. That turned out to be easier than originally thought since the convection oven and cabinet are in the same slide. I just need to add a grommet to the get the power close via a high quality extension cord. As little power as the tv and Blu-ray player would use, I don't think it's worth putting in a new AC outlet.

Bought nylon with the wife so that she can sew a bag for the reflectix that she cut for the windows. Wife almost completed the bag before supper.

Bought a new 15' Valterra Dominator hose kit. My hose is 9 years old and figured it would be better to replace it before it sprung a leak instead of after. [emoticon]

Refitted vent cover. Fabricated a TV mount to hang over the top of the cabinet for the new 24 TV. Test fit is done. Lubricated the door latch. Tried out the new HD antenna add, awesome. Bought parts to connect the TV. Bought contact paper to cover TV mount.
