I woke up about 8:30, did the pet stuff, and then went back to bed to play games. It was 42 degrees and the weather report said that it wasn't getting out of the 40's today (it didn't).
Eventually I got up and had breakfast. Then I surfed for quite a while. Eventually that got old and I decided to see if I could change the lights on the 1/10 vehicles to use the magnets for connection. I went to the garage for a couple of things and started work.
I lucked out in that the magnets on the bodies were held on by mounting tape. That allowed me to pry them off. I sandwiched the wires from the light leads between the new tape and the magnet. Then I reattached the magnet. That worked really well. I also wired the frame magnets to an output of the receiver. It took some time, but I got both the Chevy and the Power Wagon modified. It's really neat to have the lights come on when I attach the body.
After that I didn't feel like doing anything else constructive. I did check the outside of the trailer for signs of frame damage while I was putting away the stuff from the garage. All of the places that the videos said to look at are fine.
I did some more surfing after a late lunch. Ellen started watching videos and I joined her. That lasted until dinner. Ellen fixed steak and potatoes.
After dinner was more videos. Eventually I switched to surfing because I got bored.
Cooper and Abby actually sat together in my lap for a while tonight. They had spent the whole day either avoiding each other or battling.
