Day 3621

 I woke up about 7:15, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  I did a little surfing and then went to the garage to work on "fun stuff".

I started out by putting the first coat of paint on the Opel.  Then I decided to unbox the mini tool chest that I bought yesterday.  I started by putting rubber mats in the three drawers.  Then I removed a lot of holders from the peg board to make room for the chest.  It fits nicely behind the vice.

The pegboard holders had a lot of junk in them.  I spent a lot of time organizing it into stuff for Goodwill, stuff that needed to be sorted out, and a few things for the house.  When I was done it all fit in the chest with room to spare.  It also left the remaining holder a lot neater.  Things are a lot easier to get at now.  All in all it was a great improvement. 

I finished up by putting another coat of paint on the Opel and using a grinding bit to round the corners on the mounting plate for the trailer winch.

I went back to the trailer for lunch.  After that I surfed for a while until I felt like doing something else.  I put a third coat of paint on the Opel.  Then I started working on the Opel lights.  I installed the front and rear lights in their holders.  It turns out that Tamiya doesn't supply the parts to put LEDs in the driving lights.  I'm going to have to cobble something together.

It was getting late in the day by the time the Opel paint dried.  I'll look at it in the sun tomorrow to decide if it needs another coat.  I only have a little paint left.

Ellen fixed pancakes and ham for dinner.  I couldn't eat it all because my stomach was telling me I was full. 

After dinner was videos.

A note on the Mounjaro effects.  I'd been constipated until today.  In the afternoon I took a loose shit.  A couple of hours later I had a case of diarrhea.  I had another after dinner.  Both were the type of thing that happens when you're getting ready for a colonoscopy.  I hope that doesn't continue.  It's a "get out of the chair and run to the bathroom" sort of thing.  I'm beginning to see how the drug works.  It makes eating such an unpleasant experience that you don't want to do it any more.
