CPU Day 2 is now officially in the books. Since I pulled an all-nighter it may not count as two individual days, just one really long one.
First off thanks to Dale and Lisa for taking those pictures since yours truly is moving swiftly into crash mode
I did manage to take a few pics today during the 40 second down time and if you go to:

....you'll see a glimpse of the interior as well. The open area was in question earlier
however it's looking more and more like a yellow lab sleeping and riding location
Will wait and see how that evolves.
When last we left you, the pilot and navigator had pulled over to Building 11 again for the days activities. These included among others:
Trying to get the DirecTV to work (Failed. Hey RedBaron! Where are you? I'm in serious need of IT or at least A/V assistance!). How much fun is to get Directv on the line and wait together as nothing happens? Yeah. That's what I thought. One bright guy at Directv finally decided I needed two B Ban converters. Damn. And I left my B Bands back in St Louis. Now Directv will not drop ship them to your location; Radio Shack Nappanee "hasn't had those things for ages"; Newmar engineering doesn't carry them; and Directv will be happy to ship them just in time for the UPS truck to see your tail lights heading towards Indianapolis.
You know who has them? Dave in St Joseph MI. Don't ask how i got to Dave. Long story. I called Dave at his house and he says: "Sure. I got em. Send them to ya overnight. Text me your address. I'll put my address in the box and you can send me a check sometime". Seriously. Are there still people like Dave? Thursday we'll see.
Vyron installed the Progressive Industries surge protector this afternoon. Will take a pic in tomorrow's batch. I thought he would mount it on the inside of the electric cable cargo compartment but it just lays in there. We had a small punch list of things- many of which were really not problems.
Oh. I almost forgot. We did a 50 mile test drive. Except for the buggys I ran off the road, it went quite well. Seriously, Is there anything better than comfort drive? Don't answer that male Hoots. This was my first real turn behind the wheel of a diesel pusher (I don't count the 10 minute Indianapolis test drive last April)
Even though we won't have to go to Dan's Hitch in Elkhart to finish the tow bar tutorial we still drove to Dan's to buy some hitch locks. May I suggest staying as far away from SR 19 north near Elkhart as possible. Construction makes it almost impossible to drive. Can't imagine having to take the MH up there.
I would like to recount my favorite command of the day -- one that came from Vyron as his day ended around 2:00
"Leander said you don't need to be locked up and ready to go tomorrow until 8 am."
You take small victories where you can.
