Day 3019

 I woke up about 7:30 and played games for a while before getting up for breakfast.  Then I did a lot of surfing.  I also called Audi.  We have a service appointment at 9:30 tomorrow.  I also got a call from Lee.  He gave me a name of a HVAC guy.  The guy may also be able to fix the backyard faucet.  Eventually I decided to try to start putting decals on the BBX.

I started out doing some experiments with decals that I wasn't going to use.  I learned that even after 2+ hours in whether the decals wouldn't slide off the paper like they should.  The only way to get the decals off is to soak them for about 2 hours, scrape some of the paper off, soak them for another 20-30 minutes, and then peel the rest of the paper off.  You also have to cut them out exactly, they are all on one continuous sheet.

The only good news is that the decals are very strong.  It is easy to place and adjust them.  I did a couple and verified that this is the way it needs to be done.

We decided to get the dog a swimming pool at HEB (we took the truck).  Then we went to Hopdoddy's for lunch.  They were much better than the first time we went, but they are very expensive.  The next stop was the pet store for cat food and a dog treat.  We'd planned on taking the dog to Circle C, but it was 85 degrees, humid, and neither of use wanted to.

When we got home I went back to work on decals.  I did 4 more, two at a time.  It takes about 3 hours to do a set, so that took the rest of the day.  To fill in a little I put together the front bumper for the 1/10 jeep.   The new grill for the Defender came and I also put it on.  I was hoping more parts would come.

The rest of the day was videos and surfing.  Ellen fixed steak and potatoes for dinner.  Also, Abby loves her pool and the new toy we bought for her to play in it with.
