I got up today and looked at the stuff I'd done yesterday. The rocks came out fine. Unfortunately the styrofoam didn't work out so good. It cracked when I bent it. So I went ahead and order some retaining walls. They'll take some fitting, but I'll make them work.
I tried to do some soldering. I can do it, but it takes an incredible amount of time. I need a plan B. After a couple of hours I asked myself why I was doing it. I'm supposed to be having fun. So I turned everything off and went over to the well house. I cut a hole for the turntable. The hole looks kind of funny, but the turntable looks nice in it.
I went to get the mail. The rest of the electrical parts came in. I was going to take the dog for a run, but it started to sprinkle and the clouds didn't look good. Bagging it was a good idea. It started raining pretty hard a little after we got home. It rained hard a couple of times in the afternoon and there was a thunderstorm tonight.
I also entered a design for the control panel graphics in the CAD program. The thing pissed me off. It won't print. I had to export the file and then print it in another program. The result isn't optimal because I lost the grid markings.
I lost the first auction on ebay tonight. Somebody wanted to pay more for the item than I thought it was worth. I won the second auction. I put in my bid with 3 seconds to go. I ended up paying full shipping for the two items I bought. I hope the seller refunds part of the cost.
