    Finally received my 2 crossbars from tnutz. Only took 2.5 weeks.

    Got these organizers for my pliers delivered today. Was not expecting them though as they said they would be delivered Friday.

    Still waiting on the rest of my wrenches which were supposed to arrive today but are now delayed until tomorrow. Cool story bro.

    But, happy to announce that finally, finally, FINALLY, the golf cart LSV registration is complete. PITMFA.

    Just a Bluetooth speaker mounted on the golf cart and runs off the battery. The little speaker that fits into the cupholder is dying/dead. Nothing special at all:

    IMG_3172.jpg

    IMG_3173.jpg

    Not sure how Amazon has been for everyone else, but my wife (prime account) ordered that speaker on Friday of last week I think. I placed my Amazon order (no-prime) for my power washer shutoff valve yesterday morning, it was expected Friday I paid a little extra for Wednesday delivery instead, and it showed up today (about 24 hours later). Wild. But I got it all set:

    Being on-call has its ups and downs, but managed to get a few things done on the to-do list.

    Got the sockets in the center of the top drawer all organized to match the rest of the drawer..

    IMG_3203.jpg

    Spent some money at Lowe's Friday night:

    IMG_3204.jpg

    Friday's sunset..

    IMG_3211.jpg

    Added another LED strip on the passenger side of the golf cart for working with the door closed:

    IMG_3213.jpg

    Before Friday night, I needed about 75 sockets since I decided to get 1/2" SAE impact sockets to match the metric set. About 46 to go after another trip to Ace Saturday morning..

    IMG_3214.jpg IMG_3215.jpg

    Fixed up my dolly wheels..

    Before:

    IMG_2182.jpg

    After:

    IMG_3223.jpg

    Added some Velcro to mount the sound bar remote to the dash:

    IMG_3224.jpg

    Not pictured: put the sound bar on it's own power switch so it no longer powers on when the key is on.
