I got up at 8, did the pet stuff and had breakfast. It was cold outside, so I just stayed inside and surfed for some time. I decided I'd go to hobby shops and found three. One was up by where Fry's once one, another was 15 miles farther north, and the last was a mile west of 1826 on 290. We left to go see them about 11.
The hobby shop near Fry's was one I been in before. I bought a 1/24 truck as a project to modify - add 4WS and a bigger motor. I also bought a reversing motor for the monster truck. Ellen bought some painting supplies including some plastic to test on.
We drove over to the second place. It was an expensive trip, almost all on tool roads. When we got there we found that the address had been replaced by a trucking firm. Fuck Yelp. We drove back south on toll roads again. We stopped at the post office and then headed to the third shop. It's location has been bulldozed by the new road construction. Fuck Yelp again.
After that we just went home. I ordered the stuff I'll need to modify the 1/24 Jeep that I bought and put the battery on the charger. Then I surfed until the battery was full. I set up the Jeep and had a lot of fun chasing the cats around. It's small and slow. That's good, because I suck at driving. I'm going to use it to practice driving. It's actually kind of fun.
Dinner was leftovers After dinner I decided to watch TV. It's the first time I've watched DirecTV in many days. Surfing and watching programs from the internet have superseded it.
A note: My right eye is improving. It's about half full of liquid now. That means that I can see fairly clearly in the top half of it's vision. The bottom half is obscured by the bubble. At this rat it will probably be another week before I can see again. That will be good, I don't drive well with one eye covered by a patch.
