I woke up at 8, played games for a while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After a brief stint of surfing I went out to the garage to complete some tasks.
The first was installing the new shower head holder in the trailer. This should have been a simple job, but it turned into a nightmare. First, the holes for the new holder weren't' the same as those of the old. Pretty simple, drill a new hole. Then the new holder's arm wouldn't hold up the shower head. Crap.
I spent the next two hours trying various ways of tightening up the holder arm so that it would hold up the shower head. Nothing worked. Finally I said screw it. I drilled a hole in the ball end of the holder arm and inserted a pin. The arm can't move like it did before, but it holds the shower head straight.
After that I did a bunch of little things. I put magnetic tape on one of the RC assembly stands. I put a lot of stuff that I'd dumped on the bench away. I also sorted a bunch of screw bits that were thoroughly mixed up. Finally I drilled holes in the Fireteam lightbar mounts so that I could mount it to the body.
It was 1:30 when I went back to the house for lunch (leftovers). The parts for the Fireteam arrived, but I was too tired and discouraged to work on anything else. I watched videos instead.
Ellen fixed steak for dinner. After dinner I watched the first half of the football game. At halftime I decided to mount the lightbar. That turned into a cluster fuck as bad as the shower head holder. I ended up having to take the back lights off as well as the roof or the car. Then it turned out that I don't have the right size of screw to mount the lightbar. I gave up and went to bed.
