    Took today & tomorrow off (TH, FR) to use up my last PTO days. Ended up going into work today. Too much work too backed up. Guess I'll try to take a day off next week. :-\

    After a couple weeks of off and on searching, I found the clips I needed. They were on back order but I got them yesterday. I’ll tape them to a harness I made and clip them to the bottom part of the dash so nobody kicks the harness with their feet.

    Good evening CT. Got some stuff crossed off the truck to do list. I also had a few ideas pop into my head as I was working on it.

    Spring can't get here soon enough.

    Good morning CT. Already have next weekends work on the truck planned. I need to order a couple of items on Amazon.

    I'm looking at redoing my electrical somewhat and moving the jack where the GMRS mic plugs into. I also want to cut down the too long u-bolts (need to find out what thread they are).
