Day 3635

 I woke up a little before 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  It was 36 degrees so taking Abby to the park was right out.  Instead I did a little surfing.  That got old, so I decided to do some RC stuff.

I needed to make 4 LED holders for the Opel driving lights.  After searching through my spare parts in the house I found some servo horns that could do what I wanted.  They needed to be modified though.  I went out to the garage even though it was still cold.  Fortunately it wasn't unbearable.

I searched through my spare parts bins, but didn't find anything better than what I already had.  Then I used the drill and the Dremel to make them into serviceable LED holders.  They actually came out pretty good.  Then I took them back to the house and attached the LEDs to the lights.  It looks pretty good, but I may paint the holders. 

By then it was lunch time.  I ate lunch while watching videos.  I still wanted to get more accomplished, so I took the new dash camera out to the A5 to install it.  The sun had been shining for hours so the car interior was pleasantly warm.  It took a while to do the install because the new camera uses USB C while the old camera uses a different series.  We'll see how it works tomorrow. 

I went back inside and put the old camera and all of its accessories into a bag.  I put the bag in the Goodwill pile.  I packed all of the truck and A5 accessories in a box and put it in the linen closet.  That was then of my accomplishments for the day. 

The rest of the day and evening was videos separated by naps.  I couldn't stay away.

I felt pretty good today.  I decided to push things by eating a frozen thing for dinner.  We'll see how that goes.
