Our day took a few unexpected turns...
We rushed Colt to the vet after his ear infection kept getting worse, and after months of antibiotics and treatments, we finally decided to stop guessing and pay for the full culture in hopes of finding a real solution.
On the brighter side, we installed a brand-new truck toolbox that completely changed how we organize our truck camper setup. We also show how we saved money by making our own mounting hardware instead of buying the overpriced kit, and reveal just how much storage this toolbox adds.
Then...my MacBook finally came back from Apple repair—and it arrived damaged. After nearly TWO HOURS on the phone and multiple transfers, we're now fighting for a replacement instead of another repair.
In this episode:
🐶 Colt's expensive vet visit and ear infection update
🛠 Installing our new truck toolbox
💰 Saving money with a simple DIY mounting solution
📦 Organizing our truck setup
💻 Apple returned my MacBook damaged...
☀️ Surviving another 100℉+ Texas day
Thanks for following along as we continue building our ultimate Ram truck setup and sharing life on the road.
