I woke up at 7 and went back to sleep until a little after 8. Then it was games followed by pet stuff, breakfast and some surfing.
After the surfing I installed a servo and brass servo mount on the FCX24. The mount went in easily. The servo was a little harder because I had to change the connector on the servo. I hope that's the last soldering that I have to do for a while.
By then it was a little after noon. The sky was clear and the temp was 70. We decided to eat somewhere outside in the sunshine. We drove about 15 miles to a place south of Dripping Springs. It's a large place, but apparently a lot of people had had the same idea. There was a 45 minute wait. We turned around and went back north.
I stopped at another place on 150 on the way back. It was crowded, too. It also had a sign saying they were closing for a party in 45 minutes. Screw that.
We finally ended up in Dripping Springs at the pizza place by HEB. It was nice. I had my cheap margarita and a really good Italian sandwich. Then we went home.
I started to install the brass bumper and brass servo mount on the Jeep. That sucked. The bumper didn't have any way to secure the LEDs. I had to glue them in. I fought forever to get the suspension links attached to the new mount. I finally figured out that I needed a new approach. Then they went in relatively easily. Also the new mount caused the servo to interfere with the frame. I had to take the Jeep to the garage and use the Dremel to grind down the mount.
I tried the Jeep on the obstacle it was having trouble with. After all the time and money in mods it still can't climb it easily. By then I was tired and disgusted. I turned on videos.
I watched videos until 9 and then started to look for tires for the Bronco. Les Schwab doesn't have the size Falken tires I like. Their house brand tires are $60/tire more than the Falkens. It looks like I'll have to drive to Nampa for tires. That's a 300 mile round trip.
Yo sent me another copy of Tony's bank statement. I'll look at it tomorrow.
