Day 2436

 I woke up about 7:30 and played games for a little less than an hour.  Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.

I was going to go to McMinnville today, but the ferry is closed for the foreseeable future.  I'm not interested in driving there through St. Paul.  Instead I called the post office to complain about the package in Gresham.

I called their help line and was subjected to 5 minutes of Chinese flu crap.  Then there was more phone tree BS of various types.  Eventually I was put on hold for 20 minutes.  At least the guy that finally answered was American.  I told him about the problem.  He's said he'd start a ticket and response would be 3-5 days.  Later in the day I got an email saying it had been given to the Gervais postmaster.  I'll have to go see her tomorrow and apologize.

I also got an email from Amain about the package.  They basically said it was up to me to hassle with the post office.  I sent a reply repeating what the post office said.  If the post office doesn't come through I'll ask Amain for another part or a refund.

It got hot early today.  I decided to work on the B6.4 in the trailer.  I first glued the tires.  Then I built the differential.  Finally I built the gearbox and installed the differential.  Everything wen pretty easy except for some problematical documentation.  The YouTube build video I'm using helped a lot.

Building the B6.4 took most of the day.  The back of my mind kept thinking about the puppy.  I finally decided it wasn't the right one for me.  I emailed the breeder telling him that.  A dog is a lot of work.  If it turned out I didn't really like the dog I'm afraid I wouldn't put in the time that I need to with it.

Ellen fixed cornbread and sausage for dinner.  It was really good.  After dinner I sat in the recliner and watched YouTube videos on the TV.  It was a lot of fun.  I watched several interesting ones and learned some things.

The only really useful thing I did today was drain the tanks.
