Day 2256

 I woke up at 8 and for the first time in a long time played games until 9.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.

After breakfast I decided to work on the Ryft.  My initial idea was to take apart the transmission to see if I wanted to modify the shifter like the internet said.  When I looked at the instructions it looked like I'd missed a part on the outside of the transmission.  I spent a lot of time looking for it with no luck.  I did find some differential parts that I though I'd left out.

I took the back differential apart.  It was put together correctly, but I hadn't put in enough grease.  The parts I'd found were extra.  I put in more grease, then I took apart the front and put more grease in it.  After that I was back to looking for the "missing" parts.  That's when I read that note in the instructions that said they weren't necessary if the transmission is a two speed.

After hours I finally took the transmission apart.  I messed with it for quite a while learning how the shifter worked.  I finally decided no to leave out the guide rod like the internet said to.  Instead I polished it with Flitz.  We'll see if I was right.

By then it was time for lunch.  An Amazon package came with the front light I'd purchased.  I can't install it until late in the build.  I decided to build up the frame instead.  I had fun doing that, and the process was pain free.  I had to stop with it almost finished because other assemblies have to be constructed.  I really do like how the color came out though.

By then I was tired of the Ryft.  I spent the time until dinner watching videos.  Dinner was leftovers.

After dinner I did a little more surfing.  Then we sat down to watch Boba Fett.  It's getting much better.  Boba wasn't in thie episode.  The Mandalorian was instead.  Apparently they will have baby Yoda in the next one.  I hope they forget Boba for the rest of the series.  He's a boring wimp.

After Boba we watched rock bouncer videos for the rest of the evening.
