One more sleep before the Freedom 250 Trip 🇺🇸

Happy Birthday America! It’s going to be a big fire up in the wilderness on Tuesday with lots of beer and weed – and fireworks, I tell you if I have anything to do with it.

Old Smokey, the SuperDuty, really is starting to feel like it now with everything wired up, tested and lot of my camping gear packed. 🏕️ 🥾 Still need to get some more groceries and supplies but I’m looking forward to a lot of good eats up north, some good time snoozing in the hammock, and lots of time swimming and cooling off away from the heat and noise of the city. Speculator first then up to Moose River Plains for the second half of the weekend. Finally back to having fires, so I can get all the stuff I enjoy care-free without having to do that stupid recycling crap. 🔥

Got Big Red all cleaned out, 🗼 though still working on pulling the CB Radio antenna mount and need to remove the wire. 📻 Need to vaccum and wash the truck but I plan to do that Monday when I get back from the Adirondacks, and hopefully get it listed next week. I haven’t decided on a price, thinking $4k to 5k probably but I want to do more research on what a fair price is for the truck needing frame repairs. Still runs good, but definately needs from frame welding and maybe body panel repairs to hide the rust. Tires have a fair bit of life left on them too. At this point, I’m hoping to sell Big Red 🛻 by summer vacation at end of the month, as I kind of could use the cash for vacation after all the expenses building my new rig.

Still searching for my bathing suits and summer clothes. 🩳 I think they’re in the crawl space but their exact location is escaping me. 🧭 I’ll figure it out. I got distracted when I found a broken series of patriotic LEDs 💡 that I was thinking I could fix with a replacement resistor but I may need to add additional bulbs to the string as I don’t have any high powered resistors to drop the voltage. Still matching that out, even if it’s just for camp purposes run by the inverter, 120 volts can still make a loud and deadly bang if done wrong.
