Day 3348

 I woke up at 7 and played games for an hour.  Then I got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  Ellen called the vet and we have an appointment for  Cooper at 3:30.  His breath really stinks and we want him looked at.

I did a little surfing and then got to work on the Reflex. My problem building it continued, only this time it was pretty much my fault.  I completed the back suspension and put together the tie rods.  Installing the tie rods showed up a big problem.  The A arms for the front and back are slightly different lengths.  I'd mixed them up.  I had to take apart both the front and back suspensions, switch one set of arms, and put everything back together.

When I was finished it had warmed up to 53 degrees.  We decided to take Abby to Circle C.  When we got there there was a GSP.  Abby had a great time running around and wrestling with him.  Eventually we walked over to Escarpment and back.  Abby did great exploring the woods, but not forgetting to check in frequently.  After that we went home for lunch.

I spent the time until 3 surfing and then we left for the vet.  The vet looked Cooper over and said that the smell was from food in the socket.  Other than that he looks OK.  We'll take him back in a week.

I got a chance to weigh Abby while we were at the vet.  She weighs 34.4 lbs.  GREAT.

We stopped at HEB on the way home to stock up a little bit.   When we got home it was surfing until after dinner (BBQ turkey sandwich).  Then I went back to working on the Reflex.  I got a little done and then ran into a "missing" part (a ball stud).  I looked all over for it.  Then I went looking on Amain and Amazon for a replacement.  They had them, but the packages were expensive.  I decided to wait until tomorrow and look at the parts collections in the garage.

As I was putting things away I found the part.  It was in the parts case under a tool.  After hours of looking for the missing part I was able to put the shocks on.  I still have a little bit of work that I can do before I have to wait for the servo.  It isn't due for almost a week.

After I put everything away for the night I watched videos. 

Abby is a tired dog.  She went into the bedroom to her bed before 8.
