I woke up about 8:30 and got up for breakfast. After that was a little surfing. I also called a plumbing place. They said that they could come out in a day or two to fix the water faucet.
After that I went out to the garage to build stands for the 1/24 cars. The only ones that I could findl online were way too expensive. I worked out the design in my head, but the first step was to measure the cars to determine the dimensions. Each stand consisted of 8 pieces cut from 3 different types of wood - square stock, small rod, and larger rod.
There was a lot of measuring, cutting and hole drilling. I used the chop saw for the cutting and the drill press for the holes. I used screws for part of the connections and glue for others. By the time I had all of the cutting and hole drilling done it was noon and time to take Abby to Circle C.
Apparently the rain a few days ago had caused the pond at the west end of the creek to fill enough fo Abby to have some fun. She ran around for quite a while chasing sticks I threw Twice she got water oer her back, but she didn't swim. I need another dog to show her how.
After that was a long walk around the park while Abby dried off. We met a poodle that ran with her for a while. She was almost dry when we got back to the car.
We went to Torchy's for lunch. Of course we stopped at Tomlinson's first to get a doggy treat. After that it was home.
I went out to the garage and assembled most of the stands. I have to wait for some glue to dry before I can complete and paint them. I came back to the house just before Ellen left for the club.
I did some surfing, had leftovers for dinner, and then watched videos for the rest of the evening.
