I woke up about 8, played games for an hour, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. I checked the safe delivery website. Sure enough, they delayed it another day.
That left me with pretty much nothing to do. I put out the garbage and took some stuff to the trailer, Then I surfed.
Surfing got old pretty quickly, so I decided to start on the RC truck. I opened up the box and unpacked all oft the tools I'd purchased. It took a while just to get everything set up on the kitchen table to start work on the truck.
I got off to a rocky start. The first step was the transmission. I couldn't get it to quite work right. After a lot of time and effort I got it assembled. I moved on to the front axle. That's when I discovered that one of the gears I'd put in the transmission was the wrong one. I had to take it all apart to replace the gear. The good news was that it went back together a lot easier and worked a lot better.
The next step was the differentials. They went together pretty easily. The last step was the rear axle. It wasn't hard except for the installation of a tiny C clip. By the time I was finished I'd spent all of the afternoon working on the truck. It was time to quit.
Ellen had gone to coach and returned while I was working. She'd picked up packages at both the post office and the front gate. One package was the trailer lock membrane switches. The others were the cables to redo the TV cables. I'm sick of that TV. It didn't work again tonight.
Ellen fixed orange chicken for dinner. There was no TV, so I spent the evening watching videos. Fuck that TV.
