Day 3062

 I woke up about 8 and got up.  Ellen fed the pets while I got the laundry ready.  Then it was breakfast.  I'd planned on mowing today, but it rained last night.  I decided to do a couple of other things that need to be done before we leave.

The kitchen table was piled with old mail and other stuff.  I cleaned it all off.  Some stuff was put away, some was placed to go to the trailer, and some was trash.  Then I took out the trash.

One of the things on the table was a birthday card from Diane.  I wrote her a belated response.  I did a little surfing and then got out the RC stuff.  My goal was to finish the Wrangler body and put away the stuff covering the bed in the spare bedroom.

The Wrangler body took much longer than I thought it would.  There were a lot of stickers that needed to be attached to both the body and the interior.  I also had to assemble the interior.  I also attached the snorkel, rear view mirror, and fuzzy dice to the body.  I worked on attaching the roof lights.  That takes time to position the holes correctly.  Unfortunately when I went to test the light it wouldn't work.  It would occasionally flash, that's all.

I spent quite a bit of time trying to debug the problem.  I even checked the power supply.  Eventually I gave up and ordered another one on Amazon.  I had to find a duplicate because I'd already made the mounting holes.  While I was doing that I discovered the problem with the light I had.  It requires a controller to work correctly.  I don't have one.  The new light is the controller-less version.

All of the ate up the morning and half the afternoon.  I wanted to quit, but I needed to work on the bedroom stuff.  I collected all of the leftover hardware and put it in my parts container.  There was a lot of it and it took awhile to sort out more than 50 screws and other small parts.  I ended up with a whole bunch of plastic bags which I also sorted and put away.

I quit about 5:30.  The bed isn't cleared, but it's a lot cleaner.  There's a whole bunch of stuff that I need to take to the garage.  After that the bed will be fairly clear.  I also have to organize the RC stuff lI'm taking with us and put it in the trailer.

Ellen fixed chicken and rice for dinner.  I had a salad for lunch.  I was really hungry in the afternoon, but I managed not to eat anything.

After dinner was videos.
