I woke up at 8:30, played games for a while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After breakfast I went to work on the Power Wagon.
I had to go to the garage to modify the gas can mounts. Then I went back to the house and mounted the gas can. Then it was back out to the garage to get screws to mount the winch anchor.
Unfortunately I couldn't mount the windshield wipers. They were too long. I had to cut the blades and glue the ends. The one Ellen broke making it also needed regluing.
After that it was time for errands. We went over to Belterra and got the safety certification for the Audi. Then we stopped at HEB for bananas and orange juice. Then it was back home. It was raining pretty good when we drove home.
Ellen fixed grilled cheese sandwiches for a really late lunch. While she was getting ready to the kitchen light quit working. Ellen found a new one that she likes at Lowes. We'll pick it up tomorrow.
There wasn't anything more to do on the Power Wagon, so I worked on the SCX24. I removed the front body mount and replaced it with another. Then I glued magnets onto the mount and the body. I'm tired of messing with the cotter pin.
I tested out a motor I had to build a winch for the SCX24. It worked fine, so I started looking on Amazon for additional parts. I had it all spec'ed out and was about to order stuff. Then I looked at where I'd mount it on the car. Because I put in rear steering there just isn't anywhere for it to go. Crap. I'm getting really fond of modifying the thing.
Once again no word from Perazzi. I'm at a loss for what to do.
I was really depressed about my gun barrel and sat down to watch videos for the rest of the day. I didn't even want to eat anything for dinner.
