Day 3060

I woke up at 8 and played games for an hour.  Then it was up for breakfast and a little surfing.  After that I took the MT10 and the new hex hubs out to the garage.

I spent some time experimenting on how I was going to get the hubs to fit.  I finally figured out that I needed to drill out a constriction in the center hole.  luckily I had a metric bit that was the right size.  SAE bits wouldn't do it.  I too off all of the wheels, drilled out the hubs, and installed them.  It took a while.

When I was done I went back inside the house.  Both of use got ready and then we took Abby to Circle-C.  There were some soccer games going on, but there was also a lot of open fields.  We took Abby on the outside path and she had a great time going through the woods.  We also walked a lot of the lower fields because there weren't any games there.  On the way back we stopped for a little while and watched some grade school kids play.  They obviously had been taught the game and how to play.  Abby behaved perfectly the whole time.

After that we went to Torchy's for lunch.  I tied Abby up in the outside dining area and went back to the car to get my phone.  She was great.  She just laid down and waited for me to come back.

When we got home I wanted to do more RC worked.  However I was tired of doing non-assembly things.  I decided to fit all of the detail parts on the body.  I stripped off the masking and the outside cover.  Then I started bolting things on.  There were a whole lot of parts.  I noticed that the front was sagging and tightening the shock springs wasn't helping.  I got out the calipers and found that the rear shock springs were much heavier than the front, so I switched them.  By then it was after 5 and time to put things away and quit.

I switched to videos.  Dinner was a frozen thing.  After dinner was more videos.

I still have to do a lot of wiring for the Wrangler.  I also have to install the light bar, chassis protection, and a couple of aftermarket dress up parts.  I'm not sure if I'll have time to do it before I leave.   That's OK though.  I probably won't take it with me anyway.
