You had to be there. There I was in the sun room at the house and could be easily mistaken for a small kid let loose in the candy store!! Five boxes awaiting the pocket knife opening routine. Open the first box and there is a brand new Optima blue top battery. Definitely a heavy beast, it will be put to work in the rig soon. Still waiting for the delivery of the battery switch and the needed cables, that part of the puzzle should arrive today or tomorrow. Okay, enough admiring, on to the second box, open it and therein lies a brand spanking new TST tire pressure and temperature monitoring system with eight valve stem monitors, Yippee!! Getting the fever now, so the next box doesn't have a chance, open it and there it is, the EC-30W Onan generator automatic start module. Grinning ear to ear by now, and still have two boxes to go. The next one yields a new Sportstuff Speed Zone 2 tube (to pull behind the boat) to replace the one that Dad managed to ruin over the winter (long story of utter stupidity). Then sadness sets in since there is only one box left. It is opened to release the contents of a set of kayak hanging hooks for the dock so that I can have the Christmas kayak readily accessible at the dock. Readily accessible for viewing anyway, as I have yet to master the intricacies of navigation with the thing. I think this spending spree is coming to an end, so, all-in-all, a good time was had by Dad last evening!! Cathy just shakes her head in amazement when I get like this! Ahhhh, life is good!!
