Day 2569

 I got up a 9.  The auto body shop called saying that fixing the truck will be delayed by a week.  After that I got up for pet stuff and breakfast.

After breakfast I started work on the Fireteam lights.  Putting the lights together involved screwing 4 very tiny screws into each of the 4 lights.  Without my fine locking tweezers and Ellen's magnifying head band it would have been impossible.  With them it wasn't too bad.

Unfortunately the new lights didn't fit the holes I'd made for the lightbar in the roof.  I had to fill the holes with screws and punch new ones.  I also had to stagger the holes.  Everything was looking good until the last light.  The mounting screw stripped out.  It was the only one I had.  I had to pack everything up and order more from Amazon.  Crap.

That was the end of work on the Fireteam lights.  I put everything away and started watching videos.  That lasted through lunch and into the afternoon.  Then I decided to look into building a jump ramp for the RC vehicles.  I looked at some videos and got ideas on a design.  Then I went outside to the garage, wellhouse, and back storage.  I found enough materials to do everything except the 1x2 bracing.  I went back inside and did some refining of the design.  I might start to put some of the pieces together tomorrow while I wait for the screws from Amazon.

Dinner was frozen stuff.  After dinner I surfed while the football game was on.  I got bored with that in the 3rd quarter and went back to videos.
