We woke up at 6:30 and immediately got up. I did the pet stuff and went outside to move the truck so the sewer guy could get in. Then I went to the shed to work on the Kraton. I thought the sewer guy would show up soon. He didn't.
I continued working on the Kraton. I installed the motor, connected and dressed the wires, and added the larger side panels. Then I connected a battery and programmed the throttle position. That finished assembling the Kraton.
I was happy for a few minutes. Then I discovered that the truck wouldn't steer. The culprit was one of the after market steering knuckles I'd installed. One of the balls doesn't fit in it. It's the ball's fault, not the knuckle. FUCK. By then it was getting hot, so I just went inside. I'll need another ball. I'll also need to tighten up the servo saver. That won't be easy.
I ordered more balls. At least I had a $5 off coupon. By then it was 11 and the sewer guy still hadn't shown up. I went into killing time surfing mode. That lasted until 4:30.
At 4:30 Ellen called the sewer people for the second time today. As she was talking to them the sewer guy showed up. I rushed outside and started dumping the tanks when he got set up. The guy doesn't really know what he's doing and caused a small sewage spill about 1.5 foot across.
It took about 20 minutes to dump the tank. When the guy was gone I dug up the spill, moved the gravel, and filled it in with new gravel. Then I put everything away.
We fed the cats and then went to Bi-Mart. I decided to get a larger diameter hose to connect to the black tank sprayer. That might speed up flushing it. We also stopped at Abby's for dinner. I had a welcome beer. Then we did a little shopping at Safeway.
We got home just before 8. I watched some National Geographic shows on Disney+ and then went to bed. I may have napped during some of the shows.
