Day 3199

 I woke up about 7:45 and played games for a while.  Then it was up to feed the cats and take Abby for a walk.  This time it was a a full "pigeon loop".  She ran a lot more and harder than I thought she would.

When we got home I ate breakfast, did a little surfing, and then went out to the shed.  I started by gluing the Mojave light together.  Then I tried to figure out a way to magnetically couple the light wires to the frame.  I failed.  I'm going to need to use materials that I have in Texas.

After that I replaced the old tail lights on the Typhon with the new ones.  That basically meant wiring them from scratch.  I even had to add resistors.  The result looks pretty good though.  Finally I painted the edges of the Mojave light.

I went back inside to check the email.  Pat hadn't responded to my email about visiting, so I started to shop.  Amain had a 20% off everything sale today.  I spent hours looking for stuff that I didn't have and that I would want.  I settled on a touring car chassis kit with an additional kit that upgrades it to a rally car.  Then there were more hours looking for parts for completion - electronics, body, fluids, etc.  I literally spent until after 9:30 building up an order.  It was worth it though.  I'll be able to build the whole car for under $300.

Andreas stopped by while I was shopping.  We talked for quite a while.  He asked how the club was doing.  I filled him in on us.  I also gave him the TV.  It didn't seem that Joe had really wanted it.

Pat finally replied.  We'll go see them tomorrow.

Ellen fixed steak for dinner.  Abby really likes steak night.

I actually had fun today even though there wasn't a lot to write about.
