Day 2920

 I woke up at 8:30, chiefly because I stayed up late last night playing games.  I played more games when I woke up.  I finally got up a little before 10 for pet stuff and breakfast.

After breakfast I unpacked the new Christmas tree and assembled it.  It's big (7 ft) and heavy (over 60 lbs).  It looks nice though.  Ellen helped move the furniture out of the way and I placed the tree in the usual spot.  Then I brought in all of the decorations from the apartment.

I left Ellen to decorate the tree while I installed the new light for the back porch.  The biggest problem was determining which circuit breaker to turn off.  I did it using a meter and trial and error.  The guy that labelled the circuits was an idiot.  One circuit is labelled "Darrell".  I did find the right breaker.  Taking the old light down was easy.  Installing the new one was more effort because the instructions weren't clear in places.  Eventually I had a working light.  

One nice thing.  everything seemed to go right.  Whenever something could have gone wrong it went my well instead.  That not all that common.

After that I did a little surfing followed by lunch.  Then I sat down to read and fell asleep.  I woke up about 3.  I decided to fix the suspension on the SCX24.  The new screws I bought were too short.  I went out to the garage and found I couple that I could make do what I wanted.  Like the light install, everything seemed to go my way.  The rig looks nice now and I'll install the hop up parts when they arrive.

Ellen was watching chick flicks when I was done.  I surfed until it was time to feed the cats.  Devon had been hiding all day behind the washer and dryer.  At one point we'd thought he had gotten out and I spent some time outside searching for him.  He didn't come out for snacks and acted weird and wouldn't eat at dinner.

I had leftovers for dinner.  While I was eating Devon came out acting really paranoid.  I finally figured it out.  He was scared of the new tree.

After dinner I watched videos until I got bored and went back to surfing.  Devon got better during the evening and is pretty much back to normal now.
