Day 2911

 I woke up about 7 and played games for a while. Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  It was a little over 60 by then, so I went outside to work.

I started out by finishing the deck stair project.  I measured out the chicken wire and cut it.  Then I attached it using a stapler.  Finally I weighted down the wire with a couple of concrete blocks.  I think the result will take care of the digging problem.

When I got through with that I did a couple of small things.  I took out a big load of garbage and returned the grocery sacks to both the truck and the car.  Then I took the cover off the Ranger and hooked up a battery charger.  In the process of doing that I cut my head on the siding.  It wasn't the first time.  I got some pipe insulation foam out of the well house and attached it to the bottom of the siding.  Problem solved.

The only things left to do are move the Ranger and wash the front of the trailer.  I needed to wait for the anger to charge and I didn't want to do the trailer until I moved the truck.  I just went back inside.  I looked on the web to see if there were any Black Friday sales for the Dewalt hedge trimmer I wanted.  Amazon had a small sale.  I spent some time verifying that that was the best price and ordered it.

Somehow that evolved into looking for a new computer and tablet.  I couldn't find a computer I liked (I don't really need one) and they don't make a tablet that has the same size and capabilities as my current one.

Lunch happened during all those activities.  I did a little surfing and then decided to work on RC cars.  I still didn't feel like working with a soldering iron, so I took the LEDs I' purchased out to the garage along with the Chevy truck body.  I drilled holes for the headlights and disassembled the one that I couldn't get apart yesterday.  I needed the Dremel for both activities.  The headlight enclosures don't work right, so I had to glue the LEDs into the reflectors.

I couldn't finish that work until the glue dried, so I started to install the headlights on the EB48.  I had to construct some headlight mounts to make the happen.  Eventually I got them installed.  By that time the mosquitoes were out.  I got bit twice and went back inside.

I did a little surfing and then satin the recliner to watch videos for the rest of the afternoon and evening.
