Day 2281

 The weather really sucked today.  It was 33 when I woke up at 8.  Over the day the temperature dropped to 27.  It even rained a little bit, enough to put some ice on the car.  I ended up playing games in bed unti almost 11.  The cats weren't thrilled with the lat breakfast.

After cat stuff and breakfast I got out the jeep.  I watched a couple of videos and then started to replace the motor.  The whole thing went pretty well.  The worst part was walking out to the garage so I could trim some plastic with the Dremel.  I ended up ignoring the way it was done in the video and did it another way that was much easier.

Mealtimes were all off due to the late rising.  I had a salad mid afternoon.  Ellen fixed chili for dinner.  I used it to make a frito pie  It was good.

About 5 a package got delivered.  I put on a light sweatshirt and went after it.  Mistake.  The package was in the mailbox.  It was a very cold trip.  The package contains the stuff I need to put 4 wheel steering on the jeep.  I'll probably do that tomorrow

I spent most of the rest of the day shopping on the web.  I wanted to buy bigger tires for the jeep.  The new motor is only a little bit faster than the old.  Putting on bigger tires is the easiest way to raise the gearing.  I looked at a lot of other things, but didn't buy anything.  I've got significant amounts of work to do on the jeep, Ryft, and monster truck.
