Day 2816

 I woke up at 7:30, played games for a while, and got up for breakfast.  Ellen had all ready gone to shoot.  I looked at a couple of videos on building crawler obstacles.  One gave me an idea for connecting all of the items I'm building together.

I went out to the shed and luckily found the hardware I needed to duplicate what I'd seen on YouTube.  Unfortunately I needed to undo a lot of the work I'd done on the wire bridge.  I dismantled the old stuff and started to construct the new stuff.  The new stuff entailed metal cutting, hole drilling, and a lot of Dremel work.  It also took time.  It was worth it though.  The new stuff is much better.

When that was done I started to modify the stump field.  It had come out great and part of the mod was easy.  I couldn't finish it though because I need more stumps and the shooting meant I couldn't get the branch I needed.  Also, I'd run out of the hardware I needed.

Instead I modified the two ramps I'd made for the wire bridge.  Eventually they will be able to be used on the stump field and the other module.  By then it was getting hot (102 eventually), Ellen was done, and I was hungry.

We were out of cold cuts, so we went to Safeway in Woodburn.  I also stopped at the post office and the hardware store to get more hardware.  We got sandwiches at Domino's.

By the time we got home it was 99.  We ate lunch and hid out in the trailer for the rest of the day.  Most of it was watching videos.
