Day 2305

 I woke up a little after 7 and played games until after 8.  Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After breakfast I decided to work on the winch.  I took it apart and then took the servo apart.  I couldn't see anything wrong, and when I put it back together it worked fine.  I attached it to the chassis and attempted to wind the cable. 

The servo would stop halfway through winding.  I thought the battery was discharged, so I put it on the charger and surfed until it charged.  When I tried with the charged battery the same thing happened even when I wasn't winding the cable.  I quit working on it in disgust.

We needed orange juice and bananas, and I wanted to order a birthday cake.  We went to Central market.  We got the groceries, but no cake.  They didn't have any on display, and they said I couldn't order one for tomorrow.  I was pissed, but there wasn't anything I could.

It was lunch time, so after getting the mail we went to Waterloo Icehouse.  We both ordered breakfasts.  They were very good, and expensive - $35.  FUCK BIDEN.  Then we went to HEB and bought a cake.  It may not be quite as good, but at least it was available.  It may be my imagination, but it seems like the shelves are getting a little more bare.

When we got home I went out to the garage to finish the bike rack.  I needed a victory today.  I finished it and took the rest of the packing material to the garbage/recycle.  The rack is built like a brick shithouse.  It should work fine.  I also took the four ratchet straps off the bike rack on the trailer.  That's as far as I wanted to go.  It was over 80 and too hot to work in the sun.

I spent the rest of the afternoon surfing.  I have an idea for fixing the winch, but I didn't feel like working on it anymore.  Ellen fixed fish burgers for dinner.  After dinner I surfed while Ellen watched chick flicks.
