Rock and Stone.

I just barely got home early enough to unload the truck when I got home, but it is ready for the next round of gravel, which I will probably get today at lunch.  

I got most of it put it in the pile in the back, but once there was less than a tractor bucket left, I put the rest of it into the driveway.

I was aware that the Samsung units struggle to throttle down (a really odd problem for something with an inverter drive), but it was roasting in the house when I got home.  It doesn't help either that the furnace decided to ignore my setpoint in favor of some pre-programmed schedule thing I didn't know was in there and was running as well.  

After that I made a run to Home Depot to get a new tee.  They also had a pinch clamp removal tool that wasn't too expensive so I picked one up.  I am hoping I don't have to cut everything out, and can replace just the tee.  I will replace it tonight, since the filter will backflush again Thursday morning.  

I also stopped and picked up some groceries and stuff for the trip, the stuff I knew that I would need since I haven't made a list yet.  

One of those things was the little push button lights from Dollar Tree.  

They are brighter than I expected.  This was taken with no flash and in regular mode (not night mode).  It is about as bright as as 40W bulb, which is impressive for a little 3AAA light.  I currently have no lights in the truck cap, so I will probably put a couple of these in.

I also ordered a few (hopefully the last) parts I will need for the trip.  I got a 12V extension cable, so I can charge the Jackery while driving with the hope that I won't have to remove it to charge it every night.  I also grabbed a long USB cable to hook up the GoPro with.  The one I had from the Tundra wasn't long enough for the Ford.
