Back to the bank, sitcom vlog, more grip

Yesterday I returned to the bank to deposit the remainder of the funds from the sale of the Tacoma.  Luckily the amount was less than $3000 so a Spanish inquisition was not necessary in order to deposit the cash.  I drove the new Tacoma yesterday and had the GoPro rolling for the vlog.  Somehow it added up to over 30 minutes of brain dumping covering no less than 6 or 7 subjects.  30 minute videos just do not work in YouTube world so I plan to chop the video up by subject matter to make three videos each around 10 minutes in length instead.

Yesterday I received some more Tacoma upgrades, a cargo net and a bed mat.  Both items are to address similar problems.  The 99 and new  Tacoma has a great composite bedliner which is very resilient. However there is one problem, it’s very slippery.  If anything smaller was in the bed, even slight deceleration or acceleration would cause it to slide all over the place.  Sometimes this was just an annoyance, other times it was a real problem, for example if I was transporting chlorine jugs or gasoline.

This new rubber mat not only looks good but will keep most items in place due to it’s grippier surface.  It also offers a second layer of protection for the bed floor.  The cargo net will come in handy if we want to do something like throw groceries in the back.  The net will securely keep the stuff back in the tailgate area instead of letting it roll around.

Once again this evening I have to work late at the office but it should be much earlier than the last time.  The rest of the weekend should be ok.  I have some small projects to work on like trying to swap the guts between two monitors.  I also have some house chores as always but I’d like to have some chill time if at all possible.  We hopefully we catch the new X-men movie.  We also have the last Florida Tarpons game of the year on Sunday evening.
