We slept in today, didn't get out of bed until almost 9. Then it was pet stuff and breakfast. I went out to work on the Ranger radio, but Gerry called wanting to shoot. So we did that instead. Craig Rhea came with us. We had a lot of fun shooting practice. It took a long time to get around the course, we weren't done until after 1.
After lunch I went back to the radio project. The first thing I discovered was that Amazon hadn't sent me the switch. They claimed they had, but they didn't. I set Ellen on them. While she was trying to get a hold of them, I finished doing the timer/relay box. I was all ready to mount the radio when I discovered that the radio housing I ordered was crap. It was advertised as DIN standard, but it wasn't. It's way too small and worthless.
That called a halt to the radio. Instead I reloaded 100 20 ga for Ellen. At least that went well. Then I went back inside and looked for more radio mounts on Amazon. They didn't have any. They did have "project boxes" though that would fit the bill. So I ordered a switch, wire, and a box. I also ordered some alligator clips and a 12V supply for testing the timer/relay.
After dinner I did a little more shopping. Then I went out and unpacked the speakers. They look like they will fit well, it was just too dark to install them. Instead I started to do some 28 ga reloading. It turns out that I used up both the 20 and 28 powder containers today. That's OK though, I have 16 pounds of each left. That's probably a lifetime supply.
By the time I got out more powder and set things up it was after 10. I decided to go back inside. I did a little more surfing and went to bed.
