Didn't get to the dump Saturday morning but I did get the trailer lights done.  :eek  That thing is bright.  :laugh   Had the neighbors even making comments about the glow in the driveway.  :laugh

Spent the rest of the morning in the garage cleaning up. Had the cooler cranked up an felt pretty good until about 11:30 then it started to get real humid. Sunday morning I went out and spent until about noon before it started to get sticky in the garage. All in all it wasn't to bad at all.

LED's on the trailer I take it, they do brighten things up..

Yeah, when dew point gets up over 55 swampers are pretty much done, we used to turn the AC on about mid July till the Monsoons were over.

Yes LED's.  I replaced all the lights with LED's about 5 years ago . When I ordered them I got 2 more ambers to add to the front of the trailer. Those two are the ones I just finally installed. They are the Optronics AL91 Series 3 diode marker lights. If I were to do it again, I would do the single diode. I didn't think they would be this bright.  :eek   :laugh

Yeah it is progressing just too slow, seems like everything else that needs to be done always pops up when you try and get a project done. :rolleyes  :laugh

Looking for a Gear Vendor and I found one, did a quick turnaround to Long Beach yesterday, got an almost new one for lest than half of a new one. :good  Managed to take a pic of the Morongo fire by Banning, it was really pumping the smoke out.

Made a dump run Saturday morning. That will get the trailer out of the garage for awhile so I can hopefully get something going. Sunday I got the hose changed on the boat for the reservoir between the bell housing and the transom. Planning on floating it this Saturday morning and if all goes well take it for a cruise to get rid of the gas in it.  :eek  

I totally for got to take a pic of the trailer. I'm going to try to do that soon.

Yeah, it was bad when we went over, area by Palm Springs was really heavy, seemed like it was overcast and stunk like hell.

If this keeps up we won't have a forest to go see and enjoy. Didn't hear how this started, being close to the highway I would say some dumb a$$ started it.

Yea they have seen issues already down around Tucson with the fire they had and the rain they did get.

Early Saturday morning the boat will see water again and will see if it still knows how to swim. Will drop it in and stay on the trailer so I can check a couple things for leaks just in case. If all good then a cruise around the lake to kill this fuel. Will be a couple weeks before we can go out again due to my eye surgery next week.

:eek   Just remembered I need to get the registration decals on it. Don't want to deal with the water popo.   :D    :good

Local news was talking about that one last evening.  Sounds like it spread quick.

Well all went good. Trim sensors need to be adjusted.  That shouldn't be to hard to do.  :good  Here is a pic of the lights. Little blurry due to the lights were jacking with the camera.  :laugh
