I woke up about 8, played games for a while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. It was surprisingly warm, about 60. It got progressively colder though and was 31 when we went to bed.
I had a doctor's appointment at 11:30. Between finishing breakfast and leaving for the appointment I worked on the Jeep. I thought all that I needed to do was cut a little bit of the interior to fit the motor. Not so.
When I got through cutting the interior I discovered that I couldn't fit the electronics under the front hood. I had to remove them from the vehicle and start over. I also had to replace some socket headed screws with flat headed ones in order to mount the receiver in a new place. By then it was time to go to the doctor.
The doctor froze a bunch of stuff on my head and face. He also told me I should take a weight loss drug. I might do it if he can get the prescription approved. My BP was high, too. That's probably because I missed taking the drugs two of the last three days.
After the doctor we went to the post office. Neither of us wanted to go home, so we went to lunch at the fish place by Alamo Drafthouse. It was expensive, $18 for a bowl of clam chowder. At least it was good though. After that we went to the coffee shop nearby, again because we didn't want to go home.
We went home when the coffee was consumed. I went back to working on the Jeep. I had to take it back out to the garage to drill new holes for the flat headed screws. Then I remounted the electronics. The result really looks good. I'll have to wait for the new axle before I can test it.
I put away the tools and then did some surfing until dinner. Ellen fixed stir fry. After dinner I did a lot of searching for RC stuff on Amazon. I really didn't need to, it was just a break from watching videos. I have decided on building another FCX vehicle next though. I should be able to keep it under $300 while still having it be an interesting build.
Yo called me. He complained about Tony being a pain in the ass. He wanted me to call the hospital to figure out how to get Tony the drugs he was taking at the hospital. It's very dangerous to quit them cold turkey. There are 5 hospital campuses and I don't know which one he was at. I tried earlier to find out and got no where. I told him to figure it out. Later he texted me to say that he would try tomorrow.
I don't really care any more. I've come to the realization that Tony can't be helped. He will thwart everything done for him.
I watched a few more videos and went outside to turn on the heat n the well house and put the light in the well enclosure. Then it was bed time. It's 30 degrees. It supposed to be 60 tomorrow followed by three days where it doesn't get above 33 degrees. I'm worried about the pipes again.
