Doug:

Friday 29/Jun/2012:

Twas the afternoon before cowcation2012. My chore was to get the bikes loaded up and put my clothes in Duke… simple eh…. Sigh#1…I decided that the hitch combo (2” to 1.25” & 1.25” to 2”) I rigged up was good but not good enough. I decided to take em back and get the extension with the bit that raised the height up 4”. Got back and whoops the bloody thing hit the bumper .25” short…sigh#2. Ok, back to Harbor Frieght again… and today they had a regular 12” extension, very similar to my 1st attemp. Got it installed, put the rack on…sigh#3….too loose… to the cow-cave. Used the Dremel and cut some shims to fill the gap. Side shim, perfect, top shim had to pound it in… hope it comes out when I get back. Bikes on, check….. (yes, you now got to live it also).

“Hey Doug”, I hear…, “the fridge isn’t getting cold”…. “grunt” I say… well, more like just made the sound. Plugged it into AC for a while, nothing, LP for a while, nothing, generator for a while… yup, nothing…. grunt#2… dug out the fridge manual and says cant be on too much of  a tilt…k, easy enough. Fixed tilt, tried all three possibilities again over the next hour… nothing. My heart rate has been risen for a few hours now, ?wonder if this counts towards my steps? Ok, forget it, on to something I can control, laundry, but waited till the morning.

Stayed up till 1am watching tv while venting.
(Highlight of the day: It'll be better tomorrow)
