More trip stuff

While I was perusing my freezer looking for what to make for dinner last night, I decided to pull out the cooler and load it.  It is more full than expected, but I still have a little room to take some beef back.  

These also came in today, which was much earlier than expected.  I wasn't sure they would make it in before I left.  The 12V is for the CR-V, basically gives it 2 12V plugs and a few USBs as well, which will make it easier to plug in all the stuff (I have my phone, the MP3 player, and the RF adapter).  The other is a generic o-ring set to try to find one that fits the excavator.  It goes all the way up to 2-1/8", so it should have one close enough.  

I went for a walk at lunch today.  It was gorgeous out.  Everything in Keene is starting to bloom.

It was so nice I decided to stay out when I got back and installed the rain guards for the CR-V.  My boss is out this week so I am sure he didn't mind.  These ones weren't as poorly made, but they seemed if anything a touch small for the car.  The CR-V doesn't have the automatic window sensor that my truck has, so hopefully they all just work.  Like the truck, I could hear them on the drive home, but no whistle or anything.

 

I am torn on whether to take the CR-V or the truck.  On one hand, I already did all the tetris for getting stuff in the truck, have it packed and ready to go.  On the other hand, this is precisely why I bought the CR-V in the first place, to take these miles off the truck.  I am just not sure I have everything figured out for the CR-V, and I am leaving in two days.   On the flip side, what better way to figure out what I need than to go on a trip?  

 

I decided not to be lazy this evening though, and got everything stuffed in the car.

 

I was surprised to see it had tie downs in the back, which is actually really nice.

 

I did play around with this a little at work.  I couldn't get it to play anything which is annoying.  It is blinking red and blue at me, but the manual doesn't tell you what that means.  

 

After I was done with tetris, some deer came out to see how well I did.
