Day 2946

 I got up around 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After that I went out to the garage to work on RC stuff.

I removed the light wiring from the FMS.  I spent quite a while trying to debug it.  It's got an intermittent somewhere.  The only way to get rid of it was to take it apart and rebuild it.  I decided to build a new one instead.  That took quite a while.  When I was done it wouldn't work in the vehicle.  I think that the ESC/receiver plug is bad.  I'll test it tomorrow.

I started work on putting the door handles and wiper blades on the Chevy.  It's hard to do because all of the parts require precise irregular holes.  I have to carefully ring them out with the Dremel.  It too over half an hour just to mount one door handle.  The handle looks really nice though.

By then it was 2, so we went to Waterloo for lunch.  After that was a brief stop at HEB.  When we got home there were three packages - my FMS parts, my replacement stylus, and presents from Hooch.  The stylus is marked SAMSUNG even though it was supposed to be a copy.  I'll have to see how it works.

I put the steering knuckles on the FMS instead of going out to work on the Chevy.  I wanted to get all of the RC work stuff off the kitchen table.  They look really nice.  When buying all of this brass I almost specified black.  I'm glad I didn't.  The brass provides some bling.

Grant had sent me a link to sign up for a website we can use to transfer documents to him securely.  I got the login set up and sent it to Ellen so that she can add the documents.

After that it was videos for the rest of the day and evening.  I found one on adding an electronic engine control system to the Bronco II.  I might have the guys in Baker do that for me.  It will probably cost about $2K installed.

Dinner was leftovers.

One other note.  I spent a lot of time last evening agonizing about Tony.  It seems that Yo might actually be serious about cutting him loose.  I was thinking about warning Tony.  After sleeping on it I realized this morning that doing so has a very low probability of doing any good.  I keep forgetting that Tony is mentally ill.  On the other hand doing so has a high probability of creating a large amount of difficulty for me.  Therefore I'm not going to do anything.

A second consideration is we think that Tony is in a lot worse shape than he says.  If so, he's likely to be in rehab for a long time.  If it's really bad he'll spend the rest of his life in a nursing home.  That might actually be the best case scenario.  At least the government will be paying for it all.
