    Pull my desk away from the wall so I can start my cable management. Can’t find my double sided tape. Had it right there and now it’s gone. :annoyed:

    Went out and got a ton of wood pellets for the stove.

    Right as I took off, slowly, the pallet slid back against the tailgate. It was a dicey ride home.

    Was super careful unloading it because I'm still having back issues.

    Went for a follow up appointment on Thursday for that. Going to try something different/next step. Something called lumbar medial branch block. FML. This shit is never gonna go away I feel like.

    Unfortunately once you injure your back it usually gives you problems as life goes on . I know the feeling. Sucks

    A couple wires left to deal with but overall pretty good. Going to clean up the double sided tape on the baseboard.

    Just posted the final results. The only wires I'd like to change are the power wire for the PC (too long), ethernet wire (also too long) and the audio wire, to the subwoofer (too short).

    I used these cable channels from mockett.com: https://www.mockett.com/wm3.html

    If you do buy them, do not get the ones with the double sided tape preinstalled, it's not good quality tape.

    I used this: https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Extreme-Mounting-1-inch-60-inches/dp/B009NP1JQC?crid=3AP43HE743EGH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1YU27omE8BgqqZp2SjvvKcYx_ibVyDmksMXOozMIiFVX_nVcsFXNj9XZ_YAFPNoULFkPUCHNgNur4_WxCCjv3JE2tF_6q0EAR6NPTRk2iOy0fn49ThRZLuERzy5UI-DER-1iwFSZ3QE-ZbqApDjK1IrKkgzG3apazz_3pzb-txlL16sXmBFz-Np9S3u_m9MwB5m3r0-DITLNB7p_RqPYRkVT9HTgeJWcDpqB_7x8xeCEvidT7TpUC0-GVYsm1lFeZkYd3TD-4xPirh7_6fC_8pfm7QcTKAJFjwwFXMMxWME.ibSai3j3HuQHNUzu71MHpdSuxEqRRfmia9LSiAs1hxs&dib_tag=se&keywords=scotch+mount+extreme&qid=1733608831&sprefix=scotch+mount+extreme%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-1

    Searching Amazon for needed cables. Found the network cable and the 3.5mm audio cable. As you can tell, I like clean cable management.

    Even more cable management.

    Still searching for the right length 3.5 audio cables.

    No, I don’t have a problem.

    LED interior, license plate, and fog lights. More to come.
    Did somebody say ratchet straps? LOL! After years of going around the trailer each fall and lashing the cover to the trailed with ropes (16 or so per side) I finally used my brain and started using ratchet straps to tie the cover down by going from one grommet, under the trailer to the grommet directly across from it. Been using them for years to make the rafters to support the cover. The people at Harbor Freight must have thought there was something wrong with me when I bought like 8 of the 4 packs of the cheap ones when they were on sale for $6 each the other day.

    It's an investment, see! Haha..

    Rope is all well and good but something like that needs ratchets or a cable and winch system, like the one I use for my pool cover. That said I can't run stuff under the pool of course. Ropes to the deck from the 4 cover grommets on that side but that's a 2 person job and I wouldn't want to do the whole pool that way for sure
