I woke up about 8, played some games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. When that was finished I went out to the garage. It was time for a new (actually continued) project. It was raining so outside work, or shooting, wasn't in the cards.
I set up the drill press and started to frill the second hole in the target plate. My $20 drill lasted a little over halfway through the plate before it gave out. I tried to expand the hole with several larger drills. I managed to finish about 1/32 of an inch. I kept switching drills and really working them hard. I even tried resharpening a couple. Nothing worked well. I finally gave up and went to lunch.
After lunch we went to Home Depot and Lowe's to return stuff we didn't use in the remodel. We also stopped at a donut store I had a coupon for. It wasn't very good. The last stop was the post office.
When we went out to the car at noon it was covered with these white spots. I think they were sodden ash. So when we got home we washed the car. It was filthy. It looked like we'd driven a long way on a oily, dusty, road. It came off easily though.
I went back out to the garage and worked some more on the drilling. I didn't make any meaningful progress. I think I'm in fo another $20 drill.
The rest of the day was surfing, reading, and watching TV.
