Day 3213

 I woke up about 7, turned over and went back to sleep until 9.  Then it was feed the cats followed by walking Abby.  We decided to do a pigeon tour today.  Abby ran as far as she usually does, but perhaps not as fast as usual.

When we got back I had breakfast and did a little surfing.  Then I went out to the shed to work on the RC car.  I finished up the construction and enhancement of the rear end.  That was all I could do without the new servo.  There's just four steps left before it's complete.

I went back inside and looked up the package status.  There were two at the post office.  It was 1:00, so I mad a quick trip over there to get them.  I was going to go to CVS to see about an early drug purchase, but they close at 1:30 just like the post office.  I just returned with the packages and had leftovers for lunch.

After lunch I surfed for a little bit, but got bored.  I went back to the shed to do more RC car work.  It was sunny today, but not very hot in the shed.  That was nice.  I decided to work on the car body.  I cut it all out.  Then I punched about 15 holes of various sizes in it.  This is the most complicated body I've ever seen.  It has many plastic pieces that need to be attached to it.  It also has a full set of light mounts.  All I need to do is add 3mm LED's.

The last thing I did was measure the body to determine the maximum tire size I can use.  That wasn't very easy to do before it was cut out.  The answer is 75mm.  It turns out that previously I'd found some 72.5mm tires on Amazon, so I ordered them.

That was it for accomplishments.  I did some surfing and watched videos for the rest of the day and evening.

Ellen fixed corn chicken legs on the BBQ.  The corn was great.  I hate chicken legs, but I didn't tell her that.  At least the BBQ made them taste better than usual.
