Day 2456

 I woke up at 7:45 and played games for about half an hour.  then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After that it was out to the shed to work on the B72 and wait for the sewer guy.

I started by assembling a couple of parts bags on the B72.  It all went well except for one small spacer that decided to leave the bench and jump into the garbage can.  I had to almost empty the can by hand to find it.  Eventually I ran out of things I could do until I got the new bearings.

I switched to the mini-b.  I installed the servo using the parts in the kit.  I didn't have to reposition the servo.  There was plenty of room for the electronics front to back.  The limitation was side to side.  I ended up using the Dremel to remove some material from both the battery mounts and also from the side rails.  I stopped when I had all of the electronics mounted.  I still have to install the motor and program it.  I can't do that until I get a battery.  It might be here tomorrow.

I went back inside a little after 1.  It was getting hot (eventually 97).  I at a sandwich for lunch and then surfed.  We didn't here the sewer guy drive up.  By the time I got out there he had opened the door and was trying to drain everything.  Of course he spilled more shit.  He also started messing with the other valves while I was turning on Ellen's water.

Ellen's hose loosened while she was using this.  It sprayed water all over the bathroom and pissed her off.  I couldn't deal with it, I had to control the sewer guy.  Eventually the tank got drained.  I hope it was all cleaned out.

While I was working on cleanup Ellen threw the hose out the door.  That broke the water meter.  I was pissed.  When everything was cleaned up we left for drugs, groceries, a water meter, and the post office.  The bearings I needed were at the post office.

When we got home I surfed.  It was REALLY hot.  I looked for a place where I could get my face looked at.  The largest patch is getting really close to my eye.  I looked at the Salem medical place in Woodburn.  I can get an appointment with a NP in a month.  I found an urgent care place that I think I can see someone at tomorrow.  They are walkup only.

Ellen fixed pork chops for dinner.  About 7 I went out and got a selection of B72 parts and tools.  I worked for about two hours and finished three bags of steps.  I'm now up to bag 12, out of 13.  I'm going to have to get Ellen to painting.

After that I surfed until dinner time.
