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.
