Day 2286

 I woke up at 6:30 and couldn't get back to sleep.  I dozed for a while and then played games until a little after 8.  Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After breakfast I surfed.  I was doing a little more looking at bodies for the TRX4.  I finally found one that both Ellen and I liked.

We left for the hobby store a little after 10.  I drove the truck because it had been a long time since it was out.  When we got to the hobby store it was shopping time.  I got the body, some battery connectors, and scissors for cutting out the body.  Ellen got paint and some airbrush parts.  The whole thing came to $175.

After that we headed back down south.  We stopped at Central Market for bread and bananas.  Then we went to the mailbox and the pet store.  We bought $150 worth of cat food.  I wanted a hamburger, so we went to the place in Sunset Valley.  We stopped at Lowe's on the way to get some steel wool.  The final stop was Walgreen's to get Ellen's drugs.

When we got home Ellen went out to the garage to paint (it was mid 60's).  I stayed inside to cut out the new body.  I watched a couple of videos first.  I ended up using only one of the two types of scissors because the video's showed how to use an exacto knife to do most of the work.

Eventually Ellen came back.  By then I was watching videos on how to attach the body to a TRX4.  She fixed BLT's for dinner.  After dinner she watched painting videos and I watched more body videos.  Basically both of us spent all the time between getting home and bedtime was devoted to the new TRX4 body.
