NOT FUNNY ANY MORE!!!

Another week’s passed since rain destroyed hopes of swapping the camper box for the chassis on schedule.  After cleaning up a few hundred pounds of tools, I wound up getting them all out again and scratching many more interior items off the list.

 Even though the ground was finally dry enough for the move yesterday, I had other plans.  I’d volunteered my minimal radio knowledge to the Converse County Rural (Volunteer) Fire Department and had to install some new VHF radios for them.  That process took a tad longer than I’d expected and I didn’t get home until after supper time, having left 0700.  Today was the day to make the swap - after taking care of a couple last minute items.  And, well, Murphy won again.  No good deed goes unpunished.

Here’s the Doppler radar image of the moment before I planned to head outside with the camper…

And a shot out the shop’s walk-door a bit later…

 I give up!  Now the tools come out again and I’ll run more wires here and there.  It’s starting to look like I won’t be able to make my planned shakedown cruise to the 2009 Rocky Mountain Unimoggers camp-out in Colorado the weekend after next.  I was really looking forward to that!  It would have been a perfect trial run, to be completed in Denver with a mandatory break-in service at Fuso.

Oh well.  C’est la vie!  I’ll close with a photo of the AATREC-FM204, ready to come outside…
