Hey Babe,
A busy day today, beginning with finishing off my new radio install. Found that by switching one of the plugs from the amplified side to the non-amplified side, the speakers worked find, well, at least the right speaker, the left one still isn’t working any better than it did before. I went hunting for a short in the system, and I found one in the brake controller, which is good because it’s been giving me an error indicating a short, so hopefully that’s fixed now, but the rest of it is still a mystery. I didn’t have time to completely track it down, I’ll need a full day for that, but since I had an MRI on my knee scheduled this afternoon, I couldn’t pursue it. I also have to finish figuring out how to wire up my new backup camera, I think I can draw power from one of the lights on the back of the roof, but I need to do some more research on that. Got down to WPB just in time for my MRI, was happy that they took me right in and got me right out again, saves me a parking fee when I can get in and out in an hour. Would you believe they don’t validate? There’s no place else to park, so if it takes longer than an hour, I have to pay for it. You know what a “thrifty” soul I am! Headed up to Walmart in PBGardens and did some shopping, then a quick stop at the auto parts store in Jupiter to pick up some 30 amp fuses. I can’t seem to find one of the ones that plug into the trailer’s circuit board, I want to do a test to see how well the original system charges up the batteries on shore power, so I can maybe turn off the inverter and let it rest for awhile. Another quick stop at the UPS store to drop off an Amazon return, turns out I didn’t need one of the parts I ordered, sort of a front piece and bracket to hold it in, but the radio fit perfectly without it. Looks rather nice, certainly quite updated, and if I can get the backup camera hooked, nice and functional, too. It has a CD player (not that I’ve ever used that too much), and a hookup for a memory card and an MP3 player, and a bluetooth connection for my phone, though most of the reviews were that it was hard to hear when using the phone, but I’ll check it out. Maybe I can figure out an external microphone. Or maybe I just won’t answer the phone while I’m driving, which is what I do now anyway, safer that way. Back to the house, unloaded the groceries, then fed all the animals since Jeff had already told me he would be late tonight, back on the job in Vero, so I was able to get all that done before dark and avoid the mosquitoes. Then I just settled down for a nice relaxing evening after a busy day! Took my shower early, be heading to bed shortly. Good night, my sweet! Love you!
