I woke up a little after 7. I'm not sure why I woke up that early, but I couldn't get back to sleep. I played games for a while and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After that I went out to the garage to work on the Chevy.
Putting the second door handle and the windshield wipers on the Chevy took a lot of tie. It was a matter of making small changes to the mounting holes, trying the fit, and then making another small change. Positioning the holes for the wipers was a bit of a challenge also. Eventually I got everything mounted. The result looks really nice.
I took the Chevy back to the house and started testing the FMS. I rigged up s test rig that would reverse the polarity of the connector. When I used it to plug into the truck the lights work. Once that happened I had a vague recollection of running into the problem before. After that it was back out to the garage to reverse the polarity of the light connector. That also worked when plugged into the truck. Yeah.
I've got an idea for adding backup lights to the Chevy cheaply. I'll need Ellen to do some painting though. I might look into it tomorrow. I also found a gas cap on Ebay. I may order it.
That was about it for accomplishing anything today. I'm pretty happy though. Getting the Chevy and FMS done is something I've wanted to do since we got here. It was raining, so outdoor activities were out. We may go to a Christmas thing tomorrow at Dripping Springs.
The rest of the day was surfing and videos, a lot of videos. Dinner was leftovers.
