Pretty boring week!

Not much going on in the last week or so.   I did get a few miscellaneous  RV repairs done.  The bottom drawer on my side of the table/desk was moving out during travel and I found a loose catch so I fixed and tightened it up a to hold better on the road.  We used to keep the main area rugs there and that held it in I guess.  Now that we no longer have them is when the problem showed itself!

The table/desk top was bouncing up and down so a couple of screws from the bottom took care of that, and a couple of pieces of Velcro took care of M's keyboard tray sliding out while on the road.

One of the storage bins/drawers of the table has always had problems with the slide latch.  I had put in a stopper behind it to reduce the wiggle room and it was too tight.  I replaced it with a thinner one and changed the latching hole to a latching plate with a small piece of angle aluminum.

I replace the waterproof  LEDs in one of the light fixtures to non-waterproof.  The double stick tape had dropped loose causing a heat sink failure and a discoloration of the waterproof coating.  The sticky stuff on the non waterproof seems to be working better.  While I was at that, I install a second switch on two other fixture allowing half of the LEDs to be off or on, depending on the need, and extending the battery life just  a little which help when out in the wood boondocking.

The Suzuki was due an oil change and other routine  maintenance and I got that all taken care of, including replacing the air filter with one I have had on hand for a few years.  While rotating the tire I noticed an air pocket on the side wall of one of them.  Something to call about for warranty.

I have been wanting to add memory to my laptop and this week I remembered that it used to have 4GB and the two 2GB DIMMs were removed and placed in out two net books and their 1GB DIMMs were placed in my laptop.  So this week I switched the back.  Did not help with photo transfers speed, but maybe it will help with other things.

All things considered, it has been quite boring, not much going on!
