After waking up and doing some surfing - in bed and out, I went out to work on the cart. I had a couple of more holes to drill, and then it was time to do some assembly. I assembled it into two sections, because there were more holes to drill that weren't needed for the assembly. It all went together pretty well. It's not perfect, but it's a good job.
After a couple of hours of work Murphy struck. Even though I have a huge number of screws, bolts, nuts, and washers from estate sales I didn't have what I needed to attach the rack to the cart. So it was off to Lowe's, with stops at the post office and Circle C. The dog did a huge number of retrieves. It was perfect conditions for here. It was cloudy and about 50 degrees. She really wanted to go, too.
I also picked up some plastic to make up the sides of the box. I think it will work better than aluminum, and a whole lot cheaper. The parts I needed cost $15.
When I got back I went back to working on the cart. I managed to put attach the hinges and the mounting brackets. The next step will be to see if I can cut the plastic successfully. If I can, I'll paint it inside and out. I stopped at that point because it was time to get the mail.
I met Lee while I was getting the mail. He wants to go shooting with us. We'll probably do it in January. Dola came out and told us that someone in the neighborhood was robbed today. That sucks.
The evening was football and surfing.
