I woke up a little before 9 and played games until 10. Then I got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After breakfast I got out the stuff to finish the lights on the Fireteam.
I took off one of the lights so I could match the screws for the last two. They went together pretty easily. Better yet, when I tested them everything worked. The 8 total LEDs in front are really bright. I routed all of the wires and then ran into a problem. The screws for the roof sides didn't line up. I had to put pressure on the roll cage to make them line up. It was a three handed job. I ended up with a flashlight in my mouth and the screw taped to the screwdriver. I got them in though.
After that it was a little soldering and plugging a lead into the receiver. At least this time I didn't have to file down the connector. After that the lights were FINISHED. I'll probably install some foam tomorrow. At that point the Fireteam will be ready to run.
It was a little after 1 by the time I got everything put away. I put the license stickers on the flatbed and the car and then we left for the Christmas craft show on Nutty Brown Road. It was entertaining like last year. We didn't find anything we wanted to buy except some Scottish short bread. We'd bought it last year. It's great.
We stopped at the BBQ place in Belterra for lunch. For $17 i got enough food for two full meals. I thought that was a bargain.
The car was low on fuel, so we stopped at the new gas station at Nutty Brown Road and 290. It wasn't overly expensive. Then it was home.
It was after 3:30 when we got home. I decided to just watch videos. At first it was Ukraine, but then it was a whole bunch of random stuff from tree cutting to flood damaged trailers.
