Day 2985

 Ellen woke me up about 8 when she got up to let the dog out.  Then she decided to stay up and feed the animals.  I guess my days of staying in bed past about 8 are over.  I got up a little later, no games today.

After breakfast I surfed for a while and then switched to YouTube.  I looked at a couple of obstacle designs.  I also watched a tutorial on how to change the Traaxas battery to a standard connector.  Tony called to ask if I'd heard anything from Yo.  I said I'd let him know if I did.  Then I went out to the garage to put lights on the Traaxas and maybe do the battery conversion (it turned out I have to order some connectors).

Ellen brought Abby out when she left for archery.  I had to tie Abby up to the trailer to keep her out of the garage.  She was only in the garage for less than a minute before things started falling on the floor.

I put away the stuff left over from taking down the dog barrier and then started building up the light harness.  It took a long time and was a pain in the ass.  Fitting the LED's into the body wasn't fun.  It involved removing parts, modifying  them, installing the LED, and then reattaching the parts.  I stopped halfway through for lunch when Ellen came home.  I didn't want to do any more.

I texted Lee at lunch.  He replied that we could have the doggy play date after 5.  That gave me time to go out and finishing installing LED's in the Traaxas.  I didn't finish the wiring because I'm waiting on some wire holders.  I went back to the house and surfed until Lee texted.  I fed the cats before we left.  Abby was disappointed that she didn't get dinner.

Abby and Lee's dog had a great time running all over his place.  They were pretty tired when we called a stop, but I'm sure that they would have played more.

When we got home I started watching videos, which turned into a nap.  Tony woke me up with another phone call.  He was basically moaning about the problem he's got himself into.  He's hoping to get back with Yo (HAH) and worried about where he would live until the lease on the condo runs out in June.  He also has a lot of credit card debt and was just in a car accident where he's lost the other driver's information.  Every time I tried to give him advice he stated he had a better idea.  I told him it was dinner time and ended the conversation after about half an hour.

I had leftovers and went back to surfing.  That got boring and I started surfing just for something else to do.
