    Exactly... Kind of stuck somewhere between, "I hate where I am in life" and "I need money for all my stuff". :rofl:

    It's a vicious circle responsible people have to go through unless your one of the fortunate and have a job you like

    Thing is, if there was a little more manpower here, I'd actually really enjoy this one. I'm one of those rare people who actually wants to be able to finish or nearly finish a task before moving onto another one, instead of having about 32 things hit me all at the same time and then trying to pick up the pieces when it all calms down. Oh, and not have to go home and work on emails and such on my own time after working for 10+ hours. I know there's people out there that have it worse, and I get that, but the whole, "There's gotta be a better way" thing has been on my mind way more than it should lately. I'm almost to the point of willing to take a decent pay cut... and once that line is crossed, we all know how it ends up.

    I can't stand not finishing 1 thing before I move to another. I think I'd deffinately try to leave work at work carrying it home isn't good. I've been guilty many times if staying late and working on my own time to get cought up but I leave it there. I'm more than ready to take that pay cut just 3 house payments left I think

    Yeah. I'd stay late if I didn't have the little hound waiting on me at the house. I'm could go on and on, but maybe that's a conversation to have over a beer.

    I'm thinking tonight I'm going to clock out, turn off my phone, go home and change the oil in the Taco (cause that light came on as I was heading towards the beach), and not do a single other thing. Be a bum, watch a movie or two, take a melatonin, and hit the bed early.

    Here it is! Fresh off the truck! I've placed it in front of the Tundra to get the idea of it. Yay! Pelfreybilt!

    It's a little boxy, they look much sleeker on the internet pictures and I swear I ordered black powdercoat, but the desert tan look is ok too. I guess.

    I bought one of those Blue Sea aux panels to install but now I'm looking at that Bussmann RTMR with the relays and fuses. It's a little more pricey but looks much cleaner, any thoughts?

    It sure would make things easier. I looked at one of the really neat ones that has a touch screen to turn on everything until I saw the price

    I don't think I need a touch screen :eek: but this looks pretty nice. The unit itself is reasonably priced but all the connectors and mounting plate add up quick

    If you get a small piece f aluminum angle and a flat piece as big as you need you can fab your own panel for pretty cheap

    I'd have to figure out some way to clamp it down and make he bend without it ending up looking like shit. Some dude on TW sells the plate above for $60 and it's laser cut to fit that unit.
