Fortunately for me, I can remote into my customers computers and fix the problems (most of the time).
For the trailer, I got some LED strip lights that are multi colored and will be mounting them under the trailer on the frame. .

Yesterday I repainted the lines used to back into my shed. They were so faded that the pollen made them hard to see. !

We're rebuilding some fence. I did a poor job installing it 10 years ago, been replacing bits and pieces here and there as needed the past few years. But it's getting time to grow the family again with another 4-legged free-loader, so we decided to use this time to bite the bullet and finish it all up. Got what should be the last of the materials delivered this morning, so I'm sure DW will be cracking the whip tonight after work.
And we're still working ... at our office. Just not working nights and weekends like we normally would this time of year.

Going through the house room by room and discarding years of stuff. Traveling to TT storage yard 2 -3 times per week to help keep an eye on everyone's RV's. Helping out neighbors who can't do things like mow their lawns, etc. Reading the JOF every day. Appreciating those that are taking this seriously and not putting us all at risk.

My wife and I have transitioned to working from home and using our Jayco as our home office. So far, so good. Had a really bad technology day yesterday. But, today went OK.

Today I patched some cracking in the main awning, parked it back under the shed, then changed oil in my lawn tractor and Cyclone Rake leaf vacuum.
Another month of this and I may be caught up with chores.

Well I guess right now is as good a time as any to do this.
Today I updated my "When The Meeker Croaks" list. I put this together about 5 years ago. It gives instructions to my wife and kids about what to do with my files, business assets, bank accounts, will, healthcare proxy, life insurance etc. There is a shortcut icon on my computer screen with all the instructions as well as a backup copy in my safe and one that my brother has as well.

My son and I installed these multi colored lights on the front 1/2 of the trailer this afternoon.
Will install the back 1/2 another day.

No RV stuff — but something to bring a smile or two. Joined in a surprise “drive-by birthday party” for our grandson, who had been pretty bummed about spending his big day sequestered in the house. He was shocked! Nice to forget about the evil virus, if only for a short time.

I am still working, as I am considered "Sacrificial" or I mean essential in the oil fields.
In the evenings we have done virtual wine tastings with a couple of the wineries that we frequent. Now my liver will never forgive me!
When not in the oil field, I am working from home though!

That "sacrificial" gave me a chuckle, when in the Air Force, I was in Spangdahlem AB in Germany and one of the techs upon arrival told me we were the first line of defense. Our mission was to slow the Russian tanks down when they had to down shift to roll over us!

Bought Trailer #2 (2011 Jayco x17z)
* replaced the thermostat
* fixed the jack sofa
* replaced the awning (arms, fabric, roller, etc) -still wiring up LEDs in the arm
* replacing tongue (in progress)
* bought a used Equal-I-zer hitch (need to convert to a 2" ball, find some arms and mounts).
Planning to take a test trip this weekend, but all Utah state parks just canceled all reservations.
We made an alternate plan for a nearby KOA instead (WIFI and showers).
Sold Trailer #1 (Starcraft' 78)

I've been pacing myself, installing all the goodies purchased for the new-to me truck. I shouldn't be left unsupervised with a computer, and a charge card!

I’ve realized my UPS driver sees me almost daily, maybe I have the same issue. Is there some sort of Amazon Prime support group or something?

Yes there is, but it's $16.99 a month, payable to Amazon. If you have Prime, it's only $12.99! (Help!)

Ebay has a support group also. I think it is called your "Pay Pal".

Well my lawn looks better than it has in years. My truck is waxed. Getting ready to power wash and stain the decks. I think I have found a new hobby though as I'm becoming freakishly weird about disinfecting. Alcohol consumption has not changed, it's still a lot.

Been helping the DW make videos for YouTube...it's not fun! I'm not a promoter or sales person, so if you're interested in travel videos just do a search for Brandt Travel on YouTube...I'm not gonna post a link. And NO...my ugly mug is not in it! I only did the editing...I think I've gotten better with each video.

I actually love editing videos but it takes a LOT of time. By time we get back from a duning trip I have about 30-40 hours of footage to go through and make several 5-10 minute videos. We were suppose to be at Moab right now and I’m still pouting  If you’re bored, you can go along fo a ride....
