Day 2252

I got up at 8"30, did the et stuff and had breakfast.  After a little surfing both of us went to the apartment.  Ellen put another coat of paint on the bead board.  It worked on the safe.

I did a lot of careful measurements and finally attached the safe to the wall.  The safe instructions don't say how to change the combination.  They say "go to the web".  I went.  The instructions there didn't mention the lock I have.  I called there customer support.  Amazingly they answered immediately.  After a little back and forth they sent me the right instructions.

I went back out and changed the combination.  They way it is done doesn't make me feel real good about the security of the system.  It seems to me that anyone could remove the dial, short a couple of pins, and reset the combination to whatever they want.  Oh well.

By then I was very tired of messing with the safe.  I went back inside and surfed for a while before having lunch.  At least it was a sandwich instead of leftovers.  After lunch it was back to a short surfing session before turning to the Ryft parts.

I got the parts out and tied loops of fishing line to each one, 16 in all.  I should have purchased thicker line.  Tying knots in the 4 lb test wasn't easy.  I ended up using tweezers.  Once that was done I got two pieces of rebar and some wire from the garage.  I attached the pieces to the rebar and arranged them so they fit in the aluminum pot without interfering with each other.

Ellen left to teach the kids while I was doing that.  When I was done I put it all away and surfed until dinner time.  Dinner was more leftovers. 

After dinner was surfing and TV.  I'm making a lot of progress on the things I wanted to get done.  Tomorrow I should be able to get the bead board up.
