So, Jim is undertaking a somewhat complicated wiring project to make hitching and unhitching the tow car a little easier. It is a good thing Jim was half way through the project before our son called last night.
It has been our plan to transfer our 14 year old Camry to our son's family. He seeks cars with 100+K on the clock. Let other people absorb that depreciation (this time it was his parents who absorbed it). Our Camry just went over 100K and now he wants it.
Our son's idea is to fly one way to Lost Wages, Nevada for a western vacation tour, then drive the Camry back to their home.
This means Linda has to shop for a car she wants. It is definitely her turn to choose.
If I had realized the wiring project was such a brain teaser and the custody transfer of the Camry was so imminent, I would have continued with the old hitch up. Well, the engineer in me has to take something that works and see how it works.
"If it ain't broken, take it apart anyway to see how it works!"
The brake controller wire is being used to monitor the tow car braking system and the transmission lube pump is using the backup lights wire on one end of the cable and the Aux connection on the other end. It is all wired and ready to test. Whew!
Before testing, we decided to ride bicycles to Curry Hammock State Park. With the wind, it was easy to get here. Now, we have to go back against the wind.
Curry Hammock is known for a real sand beach. Indeed, it is a very nice white sugar sand. However, just a few feet into the water, the floor turns to weeds and muck.
Tomorrow is our last full day in the Keys. We've already decided to go to Sombrero Beach for the fourth time. It is still the best we have found in the Keys.
