Day 3349

 I woke up a little before 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After that it was a long surfing session.

The big thing on the agenda today was to install a new thermostat in the apartment.  It wasn't that hard, just a little time consuming.  Ellen did the programming.  When I was done I spent some time in the garage putting away stuff that I'd been just dumping there.  The next act was to take out the garbage and recycle.  It's only Tuesday, but I don't want to have to do it tomorrow when it's 19 degrees out.  Most of it was RC stuff.  The final act was to turn on the heaters in the trailer and well house.

I was a little burned out on the Reflex, so when I got back to the house it was a long surfing session.  That lasted until after lunch.  It got boring, so I decided to get out the Reflex.

The assembly problems continued.  This time it wasn't the kit's fault.  I'd purchased a pinion gear for it a while back.  The manufacturer is a good one.  Unfortunately they screwed this one up by not completely threading the grub screw hole.  It's worthless.  I spent some time ordering another.  It's supposed to be her tomorrow.  We'll see.

I found a few other things to work on.  I installed the sway bars and put together part of the servo connection.  That really is all I can do until the pinion is here.

It was 60 when I was outside in the morning.  By 4 it was down to the low 50's.  By 7 or so it was down to 29.  They were right about the Arctic air. 

I spent the rest of the evening watching videos.  Cooper spent the whole time on my lap.  Abby was not happy and kept trying to get me to switch to her.
