I woke up at 8, but dosed and played games until 9. Then I got up for breakfast. It was cold, so it was videos until about 11. Then I went outside to do some work.
I wanted to prepare to take the bikes somewhere. So I located the 2 inch adapter for the truck hitch. Then I took the hitch platform off the 5th wheel. I had to search for the pin keys, bu I found them. I put it in the playhouse.
While I was putting things away I noticed that I'd screwed up big time. I'd drilled the wrong hole in the cargo rack. So I went inside to order another drill ($16). Shit. I decided to further reduce the chance of the rack being removed by drilling a hole and bolting the rack to the hitch.
The internet is a wonderful thing. I went inside and immediately found two 3 minute videos that told me how to drill and tap a hole. I only had one tap - 5/16. Another query and I had the diameter of the pilot hole. I went back outside and drilled and tapped the hole. I took awhile, but I found a 5/16 fine thread bolt (my only one). It worked great.
by then it was sunny, fairly warm, and a little windy. I went inside to see if Ellen wanted to go cycling. I had to wait awhile while her asshole settled down and then we went for a ride. She did really well. We went about two miles, half of it into a head wind. I think we're ready to go somewhere with the bikes.
We had lunch when we got back. I spent the rest of the afternoon watching videos. Dinner was a frozen package. After dinner was more videos and some games.
The phone holder for the bicycle came. It's really nice. I'll install it tomorrow.
