Projects are mounting up

Well, Jan and I are getting our energy up.  We've got a lot to do.  Our cellular amplifier kit arrived yesterday, and after a bit more info from the manufacturer and a couple questions answered we are almost ready to tackle installation.  Also, a big surprise, after checking the tracking numbers for our AC units and confirming their arrival for Friday, we took off for a very nice 10 mile bike ride.  We found a neat bike path that mostly follows a river, and goes through the woods.  It was super, mostly level and nice and quiet, we probably only passed 10 people.  Anyway, when we got back from our ride, guess what, our AC units were in front of the motorhome!  We're anxious to get going, but we are still waiting on a gasket kit necessary for their mounting.
We are also contemplating how we are going to get the units up on the roof and the old ones off.  We found at a nearby hardware store, a sort of stand alone manual fork lift that we could rent, but I have to admit I am leaning towards borrowing a ladder, leaning it against the motorhome, and pulling them up by rope onto the roof.  After all they are only 100 pounds.  We'll see.
We are expecting the project to be fairly straight forward otherwise.  I hope so.
While we are here Jan wants to tackle our grout issue in the shower.  As you know the grout that we did the repair with that we ran all over creation to get turned out to be the wrong color.  She picked up new grout today at a tile store, and is planning to remove all the grout in the entire shower and regrout.  That way all of it will be the same color.  Should look good.
We are enjoying our time here in Montrose.  It is a good size town, big enough to have most anything, and small enough that there is no traffic, downtown is clean and nice, and everyone we've met so far has been friendly.
