Roger and Susie's Travels I though it was about time I catch up on the blog. The past month I have been busy with getting repairs done to the motor home (not complete yet) yard work working on both boats ( I do have the one for sale finally in the water at the marina ready for fishing) I have got my old 48 chevy up and running for the first car show in Qualicum for fathers day on the 20th of june ( will be staying at Joseph and Susans RV park in Parksville) I have been golfing with the club in our area that I joined last year ( I am sorry to say I have not got good enough to impress them oh well I will keep trying) Susie made a trip out to Grand Prarie to vist Tracy and the grand children she had a good time ( she celebrated her 65th birthday with them ) I made Susie while she was gone to Grand Prarie those stone men ( you know the elimpic logo ) plus bought 4 hanging baskets plus a camera when she got home ( I think that covered the birthday and mothers day ????)

Roger and Susie's Travels well today was mothers day Susie was quite happy to her from tracy and grand children. I carried on with projects around the house etc

May 6th/11 boat projects




These wires come from the back of the boat they are from the depth sounder and speed ometer and they are fished through to middle of the boat  where the monitor is

 

this is where the monitor will sit you will note the string is for pulling wires through walls etc

this where the GPS (to catch satilite signals) is wired from and the wiring hid behind moldings etc

Roger and Susie's Travels Today was spent cleaning the inside of the boat I will be trying to sell. Also taking out all the wireing for the updated gps depth sounder and navigation devise and reinstall the earlier model back in the boat lots of work. I will be puting the newes gps in the second boat project Plus got a batch of wine on the go (6 days old  another 4 weeks)
