Day 9 Oasis RV Resort Las Vegas, Nevada

Today we waited. While we were waiting we did laundry and other chores. We also rode bikes around the campground. Finally we got the call, the Jeep was ready. Carlo from 4 Wheel Parts sent his wife to come and get us. She was as excited as we were to see the “big reveal.”

Tim was so happy…boys and their toys! It really does make me happy to see Tim so happy!!

We went for a late lunch and celebration at Steiner’s. We had delicious salads!

We toasted to our “Little Roughneck.” For months we have been trying to come up with a name for the Jeep…I liked Roadrunner…but it wasn’t the right name. A couple of weeks ago, it came to me…”Little Roughneck.” When Tim was young and in trouble, his mom would say, “You ain’t nothing but a roughneck!” Tim liked this reference instantly. So, in honor of his mom…we now have the perfect name!

We spent the rest of the day trying to make the bike rack work on the new larger spare tire on the back door. It needs some modifications. We worked on it until after dark and we will see if we can make it work tomorrow. We hope to have some time to go play with the Jeep. We want to take it off-road before we leave town so that we know everything is working the way it should!
