Had a busy day yesterday, and by bedtime I was good and ready to go to sleep. Here's how it went down..
- Mowed, edged and trimmed yard
- Cleaned and pressure washed my truck
- Cut down and removed dying bush in the back yard
- Repaired shower door
- Set up my new laptop
- Swam in the afternoon
- Went on an evening bike ride
- Fit in a quick dumbbell workout
My truck is something I have been putting on the back burner as far as projects go. It really needs nothing mechanically, just some cosmetic work. It has a camper shell, and the plan was to outfit the back of the truck for travel, to take day and weekend trips with. I cleaned out the back of the truck bed and camper shell by hand washing and pressure washing everything. I also cleaned out the cab really well, and just need to detail it up soon.
My vision for that camper is a space that has lots of storage, a fold out bed, and air conditioning. Parking at KOA, RV Parks, or campgrounds with power, bathrooms, and showers.. will eliminate a HUGE expense with the type of traveling we like to do. I may make a video or a few blog posts showing how I set it all up. Plus, in the midst of all this Covid-19 mess, having your own personal space to sleep that you aren't sharing with thousands of other people sounds pretty appealing.
So my faithful writing and editing companion of 5 years (my Toshiba Laptop) was quickly going downhill. A section of the hard drive was damaged and I could only do so much to keep it running properly. I found an incredible deal for a new one at Best Buy, so I ordered it and had it shipped to me this week.
It always amazes me how much easier and seamless the setup gets every time I buy a new phone or computer. What used to take hours, now takes 30 minutes. Now it's just a matter of getting the system tweaked and customized exactly the way I like.
Not sure where today will take me. I'm pretty sore from all of the physical activity yesterday. Once I get up and around however, that should quickly fade. Take care friends, and see ya soon.
