Friday we got new tires for the 4Runner. We got Hankooks if anyone was wondering. When we had the Z71 we had gotten them on there and Thom really like the feel and lack of sound and just the beefiness of them better than almost any other tire (must be a guy thing). So when we got the 4Runner and it needed tires he started to look around and decided that since Hankooks were great for the Z71 that he wanted them for the 4Runner. Trust me when I say he did ALOT of research into those and other tires thou. But we did end up with the Hankooks.
Then Friday night we went to dinner and we were goning to stay there for the karaoke but even thou when we called earlier to verify the time to start and they said 7 pm we found out it didn't start till 9 pm. So we left there and went to Lowes to see about some thing so that we could carry the foam heads and wigs with us easily without the wigs getting tangled. Since we had somehow overpaid the card we had "extra" money we could spend, lol. (I will take a picture of what we got in a little while with and without the wig head and post it.) We will mount them in the overhead cabinets in the bedroom area. After Lowes we went to a bar that we know also has karaoke and they start on the time they advertise. Thom sings quite well, he understands his voice and the range he can hit and he, usually, keeps to that. He has thousands in his list for singing. When he used to run it, he ran it off disc and not a hard drive. When it was not busy he would sometimes just tell people to pick a disc and whatever disc's they picked he would only sing number X. He's expanded his list that way.
Thom's worked 12 to 18 hrs day almost all week long this week so Saturday morning we just putzed around and did not get out of the house till around 1 pm. We went to several stores including a hay and feed store. We got a thick barn stall mat to make some MH levelers with. Check out http://www.rv-boondocking-the-good-life.com/rvlevelingblocks.html to see what I am talking about. He describes it and has better pictures to show than I could do right now. We also picked up a big container of horse treats. Where we have the MH stored is also an auction site for livestock and a used car lot and well you get the idea. They have lots of things there. Some horses are boarded there and we had been bringing carrots but figured with the container we would always have some with us and they would not go bad and even when we leave here we would still have some for the next ones we see.
We finally go to the MH around 3:30 pm, went in and paid off till we leave at the end of the month. This place they do not have hook ups nor is it covered but it is only $45 a month AND they allow us to come out 7 days a week to work on it if we need/want to. Alot of places we checked out around here cost alot more, we did not have access 7 days a week and we could not work on it so of course we chose to park it here.
We fed some of the horses some treats, I say some because there were some new ones and with any new animal you take it easy and if they don't want to do anything with you or they are aggressive acting just leave them alone. Better for you and better for the animal. While at the MH we also took out the monitor for the back up camara. Thom will take it apart to see if the soldier joints are ok and to see if the caps are going bad. He knows how to fix computers down to the compenent level so he can spend a little time and then go to an electrical store and the parts are not expensive. Saves money that way. He also changed out the 2 outlets that are on either side of the bed. When we had plugged in the heating pad over New Years we found out that they were very loose and rather than messing up the plugs on things to keep them plugged in it is safer to just change out the outlet. About $10 or so for the both and about 15 minutes total to do. We also tried out the wig head contraption we had rigged up and found it would work so after the MH we went back to Lowes to get the rest to do all the wig heads we have.
That's about all for now, oh yea in Guild Wars (the MMO that we play) it is the Canthan New Year so we are on it for the next 24 hrs, lol. One of the prizes in the festival we use sometimes while doing the harder missions and this is the only way, besides buying them from other players, to get them so we will be here aquiring the stones that we sometimes use.
