Day 3028

 We woke up at 6:30, got up, and loaded Devon into the car.  Abby and Cooper stayed home without breakfast.  Traffic wasn't bad at all and we arrived at the vet just on time at 7:10.

We stopped at HEB after the vet.  We bought quite a bit of stuff.  It was nice because there weren't many people that early.  However, the shelves were a little bare because they hadn't restocked them yet.  The pets were happy when we got home and fed them.  Cooper was concerned though because Devon was missing.

I had breakfast and did a little surfing.  The plumber guy called to say that he had Covid and wouldn't be able to work on the faucet.  I called another recommended place and they will be here tomorrow morning.

Then I went out to the garage to work on the 1/24 stands.  I sanded bevels on the top of all of the posts.  It makes them a little more user friendly and I think they look better, too.  They were wobbly though, so I had to glue the short pegs as well as using screws.  That meant painting is postponed again.

I went inside and got out the FCX24.  I needed to fit the body to the chassis.  After looking at it for a little while I realized that the main problem was that I'd routed all of the wiring incorrectly.  I cut off the cable ties and started all over again.  I had to remove a servo wire connector, feed the wires through the frame, and then put the connector back on.  After using cable ties to hold everything down the cab fit easily and securely.

The last step was to put stronger springs on the front shocks.  They were drooping badly when I attached the cab.  At of now the work on all three 1/24 cars is DONE.

Lunch was leftover pizza.  Then I surfed until 4:30 when it was time to take Abby to the vet and pick up Devon.  Devon was quiet, but seemed to come through the teeth cleaning OK.  Abby got a whole bunch of shots.  She didn't seem to notice.

The vet said that Abby has probably had her first heat by now.  It likely happened while she was at training.  We decided to wait until we're in Oregon to have it done.  We're only going to be here for 4 or 5 more weeks.

We took Abby ad Devon home and fed everybody.  Then I sat down in the recliner for videos and a little nap.

Ellen fixed pork chops for dinner.  After dinner was more videos until it was time for bed.

I've been looking for a small basher to buy.  Nobody seems to have what I want.
