Boots

Boots There is a local outdoor supply / army surplus store that is going out of business. This weekend was there final sale and things were down to 90% off. Given we like to hike and camp so much and the kids are constantly outgrowing boots I jumped on the opportunity. I ended up with 9 pairs of boots, 2 T-Shirts, 18 D batteries and a pair of Carhart work pants for $58.36. Including a pair of size 14 black jungle boots for myself. Not sure when I will need jungle boots but they were only $5. We also got a new airmatress a coupl weeks ago at like 40% off. I waited too long for the tent and camp stove I had my eye on, I got greedy waiting for bigger discounts.

Weekend Project - Jeep Mod Phase 1

This weekend I decide to finally install the CB radio I forgot I bought about 4 years ago and found when unpacking a box in the garage. I bought it for offroad trail ridding as most 4x4 clubs require you have one. I did actually go on a couple trips back in Ohio and am planning on doing more now that the jeep is almost paid off. It only took 3 trips to radio shack and one trip to Home Depot to complete the project. I also added the following tools to my collection: step down drill bit, new shop light, a soddering iron and an SWR meter. I still need to mount the control box in a permanent location under the dash, the quick disconnect for the handheld unit somewhere on the dash and the mic hanger but I wanted to drive around with it loose for a few days to be sure of where it all would work best. The original tires are getting worn so phase two will be a lift, new wheeles and tires. Hopefully within the next month providing the final 06 tax numbers from the accountant arent too bad. Here are some pictures I took of the process.
