Day 2972

 I woke up a little after 8 and played games until 10.  It was 11 degrees when I woke up.  When I did it was pet stuff and breakfast.  By then it was in the low 20's.  It kept getting warmer all day, relatively speaking.  Eventually it got up to the low 40's. At bed time it was back down to 32.

When breakfast was over I started to figure out how to attach the trailer hitch to the Jeep.  In doing so I noticed that when I originally installed the back steering axle I'd cut too much off the body mount.  Fortunately I had a new mount.  Because the work involved the Dremel I took everything out to the garage to work on it.

It was probably in the 50's inside the garage.  Fortunately I had my little bench heater.  It puts out a lot of heat and gave me a warm workspace, at least for my upper body.  I installed the new body mount and then used the Dremel to remove part of it to fit the back servo.  Then I went to work on the trailer hitch.

I had to cut two groves in the hitch in order to mount it to the body mount.  I started with a hack saw, then it was the Dremel, and finished off with a small file.  The result is pretty good.  Unfortunately the ball on the hitch is too small, so I didn't attach the hitch to the Jeep.  I went back inside and ordered some balls.  When they come I'll install one and glue the hitch to the Jeep.

That was all I really accomplished today.  Yo called and said Tony is back home.  Apparently all he did was break a leg.  I thought he'd been committed.  Oh well.  I asked Yo to confirm the car status.  He did.  Then I asked him to see about getting Home Street statements.  He said he'd try.

Just before Ellen left I had a weird experience.  I'd been surfing and looked up.  When I did I was seeing double, like my eyes were out of sync.  It took a minute or two for my eyes to sync up.  After that I felt fine.  I think maybe it was because I'd been trying to read through the wrong part of my glasses.  I was fine for the rest of the day.

I quit surfing and started watching videos.  I did that for the rest of the day.  That way I didn't have to se the glasses.
