Day 150

I woke up at 7:30, but turned over and went to sleep until 8:30.  After a little surfing I got up and had breakfast.

I started work on the control panel.  I soldered the power switch wires from the circuit board to the switches.  I was going to do the direction switches, but when I set them one of the blue LED's was out.  I had 2 extras.  The first died when I soldered a wire to it.  The second did the job.  As I was installing the fix, a blue LED on another switch died.  I had no extras.  I made up six new ones and set them up to burn in.  One started to die after about an hour.  The other 5 are still going.

That ended my work on the control panel.  So I did some surfing and then had lunch.  After lunch we went to the post office and ran the dog in the field nearby.  It was windy and she did 20 very long retrieves.  We stopped at Randall's on the way home.

I couldn't do anything more on the panel, so I read and surfed for the rest of the afternoon.

The evening was a lot of TV and a little surfing.
