I got my Superhitch installed. As soon my Jeep Liberty gets here I can use it as a toad.

Made a smaller table top for the dinette. Now the fur campers can get on the benches (and out of the way) safely. With the original table, the larger dog could not get up there, and both would get hurt jumping off the edge. By being able to traverse up the center between the two benches, they can safely and easily get up and down (and I can keep them off the bed!) Going to trim it out with oak to make it look better next weekend.

Added a flagpole mount. Not clear in the picture - but it is mounted at a 45 degree angle to the center line of the truck which makes it visble when viewed from the front of the truck.

Built an 8x8 deck for my TC...

I keep mine at a seasonal site about 20 min from my house as I live in an apartment and it's better than simple storage. If I want to hang out for the weekend, it's always ready, or if I want to go on a trip, just pick it up and go! Built it with my brother (pictured) in 2 1/2 hours on Wednesday night. Put an outdoor bar in the corner of it that he's sitting at.

Got ours cleaned from the weekend trip to Ore-gunn and the Sea Pac convention. Even with the rain and mosquitos the trip was worth it [emoticon]

Camping, nature's way to feed the mosquitoes

My husband fixed the AC -- again --. The darn thing was wired incorrectly to begin with, which he fixed last year, and then the control switch went bad (possibly from being incorretly wired?).
