Tank came, was supposed to include the low pressure air output, pressure gauge, pressure release, pressure switch petcock, and Schrader valve. Nothing but the petcock & low pressure output.
It took over a week to get and now shows 12-16 days to deliver. Amazon wanted to replace it. Got them to give me cost of the missing parts & I ordered them for delivery tomorrow.
Didn't want a Schrader valve, plugged the hole with a bolt.
Nope, I will be able to do that I suppose, but primarily it is for Firestone rear bags and as a bonus to fill the tires if/when needed.
The rear is a bit lower than the front and when towing to mitigate droop. The fitting with the valve is for a hose, it will go to a T connector that will send air to bags on both sides.
Similar to this, my springs are a pita get out but I'm going to do it.
Marley(16 year old white GSD) has not eaten in 48 hours, can't get up & just refused a french fry, we're looking for a place to come here to euthanize her.
Thanks guys, it's a gut blow, I can't believe she isn't here, it's weird. I have gotten to miss the actual death the last few times (although I had the joy of removing the Bichon from the pool filter) that's never being unseen.
On a happier note,
Switchplate & cupholder inserts came, I need to extend the wires for the back window & nanny off switch to fill the two remaining holes.
The hardest part is she was here the entire time we lived in this house and it feels empty now. I'm just used to seeing her, hearing her etc. It is a reminder of all the dogs I have lost going back to my first in the mid 70s, she's the 10th. Shit I'm in double digits
They absolutely give much more than they take. It's hitting me harder than usual, I guess because of the current situation in the world and that due to the situation I spent more time with her than normal (which I'm grateful for)
I've lost 2 in my adult life, and those were 18 months apart. It still brings me to tears thinking about them. It hurt so much that it took me about 6 years before I could bring myself to let another dog into my life.
I've said it before and I'll continue to say it until the end of time - dogs are better than humans, and we don't deserve them.

I went to get lunch, she had an uncanny superpower to be in the way. It annoyed the crap out of me. I looked for her when she was not blocking the door and cried like a baby when I remembered she was gone.
I'm trying to be a good son and am calling Mom daily (regretting almost every call) and yesterday was the worst. She said, you sound overwhelmed, why? I said Marley died. That was 2 days ago she says like that is enough time EXCEPT it was 1 damn day. It was all I could do to just calmly say Mom it will be a long time before I am over this and changed the subject to her day.
She's probably struggling with her own longevity and is hoping you would be more sad than for a dog.
No reason to downplay your emotions though.
I told my Mom to prepare to not have the "i'm old so I'm an asshole" excuse cause I'm gonna hold her accountable.
Right now filling a hole. I want to get a solenoid and run it for the bags, right now, I have to toggle the valve to send air to that side of the fitting. I'm taking a mental health day tomorrow & hope to do the bags.
