Boo, two posts in a row. Sure, I could edit, but what fun is that.
1. Installed a Honeywell thermostat for my furnace. Kind of a pain since it also controlled my AC ... not red/white, not black/white, but green/white. In any case, I got it working. This is in preparation for my switch to ceiling controlled AC. It didn't quite cover the second existing hole. Something to consider for those thinking about switching thermostats.
2. Installed baggage door catches on my water fill door and door that has my hookups. Both flop a bit in the wind. Now, they won't!
3. Cut the ball off of a ball mount and ground the welds off and took the ball off of a second one so that I could reverse the mount to give more clearance. I've been wanting to do this for a while to give more clearance for my driveway and other angle changes.
4. Installed more d-rings for tie downs in the back seat. Yeah, it's not the TC, but since the TC is on all of the time, it's kind of a TC.
5. Installed a small safe. That was actually pretty easy after settling on a location although I did reinforce the shelf a bit. No, I'm not under any illusion that it can't be stolen, but it will stop grandkids and the random visitor who shouldn't be there.
6. Fixed a piece of loose trim on my slide. I got lucky or unlucky. I would have put glue on the pieces if I had known one small nail would have secured the three pieces.
