Day 2588

 I woke up at 8, played games for a while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After a little surfing I got out the RC stuff.

I decided to put together the 1/24 wheels and tires that I got for Christmas.  The wheels are the first beadlock ones that I've put together.  Each wheel had 6 really small screws.  Of course there were no instructions.  I ended up putting the first one together wrong and had to take it apart and start over again.  After that it was just a slow process because everything was small and there were a lot of screws.

I put the tires on the small power wagon when I was finished.  They are a huge improvement over the stock ones.  I was just going to try them out when John, Melissa, and Daniel came over for lunch.

We had lunch and talked for a while.  Everyone had their favorite leftovers.  A minor disaster struck, the internet went down.  That was OK, the phones still worked.  Ellen and Melissa got out hobbies and I put together a Lego car I got for Christmas.  John and Daniel surfed.

About 3 they left to go to the airport.  I took my work chair back to the garage.  I also turned off the heat in the well house and put up the light that was in the well head.

When John and Melissa got back they said that the gate wasn't working.  I went out to check on it.  It was beeping a "low battery" error.  I measured the battery, it was at 13.4V.  I put it on a charger anyway.  I couldn't really measure the charger, but it seemed to not be working.  I'm going to take things apart tomorrow.

Ellen fixed steaks and leftovers for dinner.  After dinner we talked, Ellen surfed, and Melissa worked on her hobby.  

Just as they were leaving I discovered that the ice chest had leaked water under the floor.  I squeezed out all that I could.  I'll have to glue down some of the floor edging tomorrow.

We spent the rest of the evening watching videos.
