Day 957

I'm not sure when we got up, but it was fairly early.  After pet stuff and breakfast I went out to get some stuff done.  I used the headlight cleaner we bought awhile back on the truck headlights.  I think it did a little good.  Then I tackled the bad switch for the Ranger backup camera.

As soon as I got the dash off the problem was obvious.  The cheap Chinese piece of shit switch had come apart.  I mean it fell into pieces.  I spent some time figuring out the 5 leads of the new switch.  Then I wired it in.  It doesn't light up exactly as I want, and I have no idea why not.  I wired it the same way I tested it on the bench, but it didn't operate that way when I installed it.  Oh well, it works well enough.

I got done about noon and went in for lunch.  Then it was a little surfing until we decided to take the dog swimming.  As we were driving out we saw Gerry with his wife and daughter.  We decided to shoot with them instead.  We had fun shooting.  I'm going to need to get used to the changes I've made to the butt pad.  It will take awhile.

When we were finished we talked for awhile.  Then they left.  We decided to got to Roth's for a couple of things.  We stopped at Jing's and ordered a whole bunch of food.  It will last a couple of days.

When we got home we ate Chinese.  It was in the mid 80's today, so I waited until about 8:30 to walk.  The sun was still well above the horizon.

The rest of the evening was TV and surfing.
