    A friend bought & is loaning me this tool. Should allow for some good inside the frame prep before the winter chasis spraying sessions.
    Salt Shift Chassis Flusher
    basically a multi-directional spray nozzle that pokes into the frame with magnets to hold onto the frame. Methinkmegonnagetsoppingwet. :rain:

    Everyone went where they're going Friday? Traffic was down to pandemic levels today. Driving was nice.

    ...turns out an old jacked Taco is faster than a Maseratti. 'cause Taco got vision lines & Maseratti can't see nothing but bumpers. :woot:

    Setting up the downstairs for more of a "play room" sort of set up.

    Got a TV last weekend and put it up on the wall, 50" Samsung QLED. Today went to IKEA and got this to put the PS5 and the Wii on, and store the games inside.

    Next step will be to come up with a creative idea to hide the wires.

    Here is a website for some ideas: https://www.mockett.com/grommets-wire-management/

    I used some of their products to cable manage my desk.

    (be warned, some of their products are expensive)

    Good morning CT.

    Got most of the fuse box done. Came up with a way to add more fused circuits, had to order different color 12 ga wire. I'll install the box and cut the main power/ground wires to length.
    I could probably start on the compressor wiring then look through my parts and see what else I can do.

    Be a lot of work, but you could go up, behind the crown molding to the side wall & run it down/inside the side wall. Just watch out for the electrical wires in that section of the wall when you drill in & pull down.

    Good morning CT. Happy Labor Day!

    Cleaning the house and making mental notes while searching Tacoma stuff online.

    Have you had any sore neck issues yet with the tv that high on the wall? A friend of mine has his up there too, over the fireplace mantel, but has decided its gotta be put lower somewhere else. Says, unless everyone is lying down watching it, they get sore necks.

    I looked up viewing distance when purchasing my TV. I have mine on an entertainment center with a bracket that makes it look wall mounted. I don't trust these walls in this apartment.
