Day 2935

I woke up about 8, played games and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  It was cold again today and I only had a few things on the todo list.

The first was to put the emblems and other parts on the Power Wagon.  I made sure that I had screws to attach the mirrors to the mounts.  I did.  Then I made the 6 holes in the body that I needed - 2 for the door handles and 4 for the mirror mounts.  It wasn't easy to get them in exactly the right places, but I did a good job if I do say so myself.

While I was doing that Ellen was getting the paperwork together for the vehicles.  The truck license expired in October.  The car and flatbed trailer expire in December.  Unfortunately we still need to get inspections for the car and truck.

Before we left I glued the door handles and the front emblem to the Power Ranger body.  Then I called Perazzi.  I got the receptionist/office manager.  She explained that the manager was out and the gunsmith was sick.  She said that she'd have the manager call me today with a target for my barrel.  I hung up happy.

After that we left in the truck for the inspection place in Dripping Springs.  They were really busy, but we didn't wait all that long.  Then we went to the county office in Dripping Springs for the tabs.  That wait was longer, but they didn't charge us for being late on the truck.

After that we stopped at the pizza place in Dripping for lunch.  I had a mango margarita.  We both had lunch specials.  They were less than we would have spent at a fast food place.  The last stop was HEB for orange juice and stuff so Ellen could make cookies for the neighborhood cookie swap.

I didn't work on the Power Wagon when we got home because I wanted to make sure that the glue was dry.  I surfed instead.  Ellen went to the club.

I had leftovers for dinner and then watched football - sort of.  At halftime I glued the emblems on the Power Wagon.  Tomorrow I'll attach the mirrors and I'll be FINISHED.

Unfortunately no one at Perazzi called me today.
