Day 2307

 I woke up about 8 and played games for awhile before getting up for pet stuff and breakfast.  The weather service was warning that there would be a big thunderstorm in the afternoon or evening.  Two inch hail was predicted, so we put the car in the garage.

The weather turned out to be a big nothing burger.  There was a lot of wind at time, a lot of thunder, and a total of .6 inches of rain fell.  In other words nothing special except for the tornado alerts over the weather radio.  We still have one until 1:00 AM, but the radar shows everything has moved north.

After breakfast I decided to finish taking apart the old bike rack.  I finished the job and brought a box of hardware and a load of larger parts back to the garage.  I put every thing except the hardware away.  Then I quit because it was starting to rain.

I emailed Grant about what will be necessary to drain the IRA I inherited from Mom.  That got both Ellen and I working on estimating this year's taxes and our net worth.  We managed to come up with numbers for both, but it took a lot of effort.  The bottom line for Grant is wait until we know about this year's taxes. 

I also got really annoyed with the Audi service.  I made an appointment 6 weeks ago for an oil change and to fix a recall.  The appointment is for Thursday.  Today they texted to tell me that they would need to keep the car for a week or more.  The alternative was to wait until July.  I asked about the oil change.  They said to bring it in and they would get it back to me "in a couple of days".  I almost cancelled.

I did a little work on the Ryft.  I probably could have finished it, but I just wasn't motivated.  I think the failure of the winch effort caused the lack of desire to work on anything.  Instead I spent most of the day surfing and watching videos.  Ellen spent most of the day and evening watching chick flicks.

Dinner was a frozen enchilada.  After dinner I felt guilty and did a little RC work.  I took the second servo from the SCX and modified it so it could be used in the winch.  Hopefully it will work when I test it tomorrow.
