Day 3520

 I junk phone call woke me up a little before 8.  I played games and then got up to walk Abby.  Ellen fed the cats and joined me.  When we got back I had breakfast and surfed for a little bit.  Then I went out to the shed to finish up the last few things on the 6x6.

I bagged up all of the spare parts and put them away to take home.  Then I replace all 6 wheel hexes.  I'd put the wrong ones on.  The correct ones are definitely better.  Then I cut down the body mounting posts to the correct height.  I also mounted magnets to the top of them.  Finally I marked the body so that I'll know where to attach the magnets to it once it's painted.  Just as I was putting the last stuff away I came across a addendum to the instructions correcting how the front body mounts were supposed to be attached.  I was so pissed I just went to lunch instead of correcting things.

Tony had left me a voicemail.  I spent a lot of time worrying about what he might want.  I delayed calling him back until after dinner.

I ate a sandwich for lunch and did some surfing.  Then I watched a full movie.  It was entertainingly bad.  When it was done I decided to go back out to the shed and correct the front body mounts.  That was a pain in the ass.  I had to remove the current ones.  Locate a three new parts, assemble the new mounts, and then cut them to the right length.  It was a pain.  The good part is that except for programming I can't do anything more until the body is painted.  I went back inside to make Ellen guilty.  I don't thing it worked.

I started another movie while Ellen cooked steak and corn on the BBQ.  It was really good.  After dinner I called Tony.  He wants to come down to see me.  I told him that August is booked (it kind of is) and to call back in a couple of weeks and we'll set up a Sept. date.

After that I switched from the movie to videos.  I'll probably go back to the movie tomorrow.  Eventually that turned into surfing.
