I woke up about 7:30, played games for a while and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. It was cold outside and I just decided to surf for a while.
Eventually I got bored with surfing and got out the Jeep. I set up some of my obstacles and tried out the changes that I'd made. They made a noticeable improvement. I was able to get up an obstacle that I couldn't before. I'm hoping the last parts that I've ordered will improve it more.
After that I got out the FMS. I was going to see if I could convert it to magnets. Its clip mounting is both hard to get on and harder to get off. One of the reasons is the extra wires I added for front lights. I decided to take it out to the garage to fix the wiring.
The fix involved removing the lights and totally rewiring them. It took quite a while to do it. I was really paranoid and tested each step. The only step that I couldn't test was the final assembly. That's because the vehicle won't turn on if it doesn't have a signal from the transmitter.
I had a really late lunch when I finished. Then I charged up the FMS battery and tested it out. The lights didn't work. I was really disappointed. I was also not interested in fixing it today. I went back to surfing.
Some parts showed up. I gave the Power Ranger wipers to Ellen to make up. I put the brass steering knuckles on the Jeep. They went on really easily and they look like they will work well. They definitely add weight to the front.
After some more surfing we made the bed and then Ellen sent the ordering information for the iPad to Eric. She made sure he knew to wait until 2024 to order it. That's only 12 days away. The years just go by so fast as I get older.
Dinner was leftovers. After dinner was videos.
