Day 2944

 I woke up about 7:30, played games for a little while, and then got up for pet stuff.  After that it was a little surfing before leaving to take Ellen to the eye doctor.  

I dropped her off at the doctor and then went to Costco.  Unfortunately Costco didn't open for another hour.  I went to Whole Paycheck, bought coffee and a bagel, and sat there for an hour playing games.  I also called Perazzi.  I tried three different mailboxes on the phone tree.  They were all full.  I wonder what the hell is going on.  Then I went to Costco.

I bought two more pairs of glasses, some trail mix, and two cases of water.  Then I drove back to the doctor's office and waited for Ellen.  Unfortunately I dropped my tablet while I was in the bathroom and lost the stylus.  I didn't notice until we got home much later.

When Ellen was done we went to the Armadillo Christmas.  We had fun looking at everything, but only bought two small items - a road runner coaster and an armadillo planter.  Then we went across the street to Black's for lunch.  It was great as usual.  I even scored a couple of burnt ends.  They were fantastic.

After that we stopped at HEB for milk and then went home. Ellen's asshole was giving her lots of trouble.  There were car parts waiting for me when we got home.  Before working with then I checked the FMS's lights.  They are indeed broken.  I didn't want to deal with wiring, so I turned my attention to the parts.

One package was dress up parts for the Chevy.  They included a tailgate handle.  Ellen and I went down a rathole determining whether or not 63-66 model C10's had a tailgate handle.  They didn't.  The wipers and door handles are good though.  The only think is they will take Dremel work to install.  I did a little preliminary work on the door handles and then went on to the other parts.

The parts were two sets of suspension links, one for the Jeep and one for the FMS.  Each set had 8 links.  Each link had two rod ends made up of a bushing and two O rings.  It took me quite a while to install all of the ends.

Tony called and I spent over an hour talking with him.  Of course he's dissatisfied with the treatment he's getting because after all he knows more than the doctors.  I did get him calmed down.  I also think he needed someone to talk to.  He seems to be sicker than he let on in the first call.  He can't walk and has trouble with his arms and hands.  I hope he does recover.

With the phone call it was almost 8 before dinner.  I was tired by then so I put the RC stuff away and watched videos.  I also order a new stylus - $40.
