Day 2279

 I woke up at 7:30.  A weird thing happened last night. I had a nightmare that I even remembered.  Someone was chasing me and then attacking me.  I wok up punching Ellen.  She was not amused.  After getting up I did the pet stuff did some surfing.  I was too wire from the dream to eat.

Eventually I did have breakfast.  Then I got out the monster truck.  I've got the hardware I need now, so I replaced the 6 shocks that I couldn't do before.  Then I removed the motors.  Their rotation directions were mismarked.  I got a power supply from the garage to determine which way they really rotated.  Then I used it to determine the way the new motors rotated.  That will allow me to put the motors in the right place.  After that I was decided I'd had enough for today and put everything away.

Ellen was doing some more test painting while I was working on the monster truck.  It was a warm day, 85, so it was nice for her in the garage.  She's narrowing down the finalists.  I surfed for a while and then had lunch. 

When Ellen was finished we went to HEB.  We needed bread, bananas, milk  - the usual stuff.  Some of the shelves are completely empty and most are sparsely stocked.  Prices are up a whole lot.  FUCK BIDEN.

When we got back I got bored with surfing and got out the front light I want to use on the Ryft.  I took it all apart and I think I can shorten it.  I found an alternative on Amazon in case I can't.

Two packages came - the larger motor for the Jeep and the hex screwdrivers I need to install it.  I also searched for, and found, a case to put the screwdrivers in.

The eye doctor's office called.  They are delaying my appointment for 6 days.  I'm not a happy camper because it's for the first followup after the surgery.  The bubble is getting smaller, but it's doing it slowly.

I had a long email conversation with Gerry about the paper we signed and sent him last week.  USPS said it was delivered 5 days ago.  He said he didn't get it.  Eventually he found it in his office.

Ellen fixed a ready made meal from HEB for dinner.  It was pretty good.  After dinner she watched chick flicks and I watched videos.
