I woke up at 7:30, played games for a while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After breakfast I took out the garbage and recycle. Then I opened the weather station/alarm clock that came yesterday.
I plugged the station into the wall and set it by the window near the outdoor sensor. It picked up the sensor almost immediately. That was a good sign. I decided to leave it there for a while to see what happens.
Just before I got started Ellen made a big mess in the kitchen. She we brining the turkey and spilled a lot of fluid on the counter, dishwasher, and the floor. I helped get the brining done and the turkey in the refrigerator. Then I spent a lot of time cleaning everything up. The fluid was a mixture of water, sugar, and vinegar along with little seed like things. I decided that while I was doing it I would flush out the sink pipes and scrub the sinks. It took at least an hour to do everything.
I got out the Jeep I was working on last Spring. I also got out a whole lot of stuff to work on it. My idea was to spend a couple of hours finishing up the lights. Yeah, right. The first thing I discovered was that the rock lights that I'd installed and wired in had to be totally redone in order for the body to fit. Then I had to fix a part of the body that I'd installed incorrectly. By the time I had that done it was after lunch. time.
I ate lunch (salad) and watched a few videos. Then it was back to work. I routed all of the wires (6 lights) and the body contacts. Then I soldered everything together. That doesn't sound like much, but that's 14 wires all total. Then I soldered everything up. When I was finished I tested it. Everything worked fine.
By then it was almost 5. I put everything away. I was going to feed the cats, but Ellen beat me to it. She fixed BLT's for dinner while I switched to videos.
We watched videos for the rest of the evening.
Hopefully I can finish the Jeep tomorrow. I just have to do a little more work on the frame and then do the body.
