    Don’t ever think that you are boring . Your video was great. You are never boring. Poor Rocco,can tell she was feeling sorry for herself. That s great that you made the days different for her. You two have a fantastic bond. Well done for taking care of the Forrest.

    Such a shame that you both had to go through all that and there was no reason for it.
    Good on you for your continuing trail rehab efforts. It must be very rewarding at the end of the day. This world needs more people like you.
    Great video. Always looking forward to the next one.

    Thanks for going the extra mile! I always feel like I'm the only one who bothers to take the time to widen out the trail when it starts growing in. If we don't maintain them, they won't put in the effort and then the access roads end up closed.

    Mobile life requires a few things: water, food and food preservation, waste disposal, food preparation, communication with loved ones.

    I tried rewinding and still did not catch (not tryin'ta pun) if you fixed your electrical? It sounds like yea, but if not a loose connection, or crossed wires, maybe? , especially if an ammenity like the wiper blades are in the electrical stream. Also, Sometimes the tire pressure triggers those lights-- ABS & traction control, but usually that is not all, just a decent first mediation & way to keep going. I can't seem to envision what specific type of spring latch, but I know California has many child proofing latches, usually in larger stores.

    I'd like to share an idea we use in rescue, for a 'cover' to help keep Rocko's bandage clean, that involves a men's athletic/tube sock, and a pair of scissors, or very sharp blade. Lay the sock flat (side view) and cut down the middle of the tube area until you reach the 'heel' area. Slip the sock over her foot, bring the two halves created by the cut straight up, one half will go up and around the opposite side of her neck and the other half will go straight up from the leg with bandage...and tie. It will help keep the foot, bandage and leg clean and dry. You're a great pupster papa! Be well and be safe.
