Projection

Over the past two weeks prior to our arrival in Riverside I had been ordering things for projects from Amazon and eBay and having them delivered to my daughter's home, and Sunday was a day to plow through most, if not all of them.

Here is a list of what awaited us:

1) VW - power mirror control module (the knob on ours broke while we were in Ventura) - DONE 11/22/2015
2) VW - passenger door pull handle (ours has been sort of broken for about a year) - DONE 11/22/2015
3) VW - passenger dashboard grab bar (had gotten a little 'ratty' looking) - DONE 11/22/2015
4) Newell - three 15' Rhino Flex sewer hoses in three large boxes (our current ones are just worn out and beginning to leak) - DONE 11/22/2015
5) Newell - replacement dual chamber liquid soap/shampoo dispenser for the shower.....TLE's had come off the wall a few months ago and broken - DONE 11/22/2015
6) Newell - Progressive Industries surge protector to replace the one that melted down in Carson City - DONE 11/21/2015

None of these projects by themselves was a very complex, or involved, but it did take me most of the day to complete 1-5.  After having removed and replaced items 1-3 in the VW I now know way more about how how the VW is put together than I wished to know.  Seriously, though, I had to remove both of the door panels to replace the mirror control module, and the door pull handle, and I had no idea how to do that.  This is what is so great about 'smart phones'.....I just Googled "How to remove the interior door panel on a 2001 VW Beetle" and I got a link to a YouTube video showing me exactly how to do it.  I just started the video, set the phone on the dashboard, and removed all the 'hidden' screws.....easy peezy!


During all of of this I had the TV's in the coach and trailer playing NFL football....it was a good day, and there were a number of good games to watch, including the SNF game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Cincinnati Bengals (in Arizona).  After the SNF game we decided to watch "Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1"  so we can go to see "Part 2"  with our kids Tuesday.  Hulu finally had it in their queue so we logged in via our TV and watched it.

We were in bed by a little after 2300 hours.....thanks for stopping by!
