The love/ hate relationship with the 5er

[swampdonkey772]

So my love/ hate is I love working on my rig. Modifying making it more usable for me. Attached is a picture of what showed up in the mail a couple days ago. We leave next Monday for a week at the coast. I don't have my usual mid week days off. So now it's daddy duty on the weekends and trying to get my propane set up for my new griddle. I hate not having the time and feeling rushed to get it done. Grrrrrrr

Same here. All my camping buds give me rations about which projects I have lined up while we are at camp.

Just finished packing 3 tool bags for each of my projects this week when we go to a mini frog rally.

The challenge I enjoy is getting the parts on order and ensuring I have the right tools/equipment to get the job completed while DW is out on her marathon hikes[emoji1787]

This weeks projects:
-Installing blue strip lights under the rear end of the rig
-Install stand alone outlet for space heater
-install dimmer for movie night ambiance
-install a couple extra bolts on auto level jacks that I installed in February
-install tile backsplash (only if it rains)
-rewire connector on Jensen stereo I installed last week
-routine caulking

Nice griddle. One of these days I am gonna get one. Can’t wait to have breakfast and grilled onions for dinner side dish on one of those.

Hey, where did you get your propane hose? Did you get a manifold to split an existing line?

Reason I ask is quick connect stuff seems to be readily available but the threaded hoses are a bit tricky to find.
