Day 3643

 I woke up at 4 and couldn't go back to sleep.  I played games until about 7:30 and the got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  It was still too cold to do anything outside, so I decided to attach the headlights to the Slash bumper.

The lights required some assembly - 16 almost microscopic screws that held on the front bezels.  The good news was that it was easy to use the supplied hardware to attach the lights to the bumper.  I did have to go out to the garage to drill pilot holes for the screws.  The result looks pretty good.

 I did a little surfing and then some errands like taking the garbage out and getting ornaments for our "Christmas tree".  I'd bought a miniature live tree from Costco, put lights on it, and now some ornaments.  I'm just not up to dragging out the tree and its decorations this year.  I kind of like it.

When that was done I still wanted to accomplish stuff.  I got the BRC body out of the garage and cut it out.  It was pretty easy especially because the wheel wells had already been cut out.  It takes two coors to paint though, which means I'll have to do some masking.

I still wanted something to do, so I went out to the garage and drilled the holes for the winch in the mounting plate and the trailer rail.  Everything lined up perfectly.  I also cleaned and painted the mounting plate.  I may give it a second coat tomorrow.

Ellen did some painting when I was working.  She also did a lot of work on the Slash masking.  Unfortunately her airbrush won't spray the gold paint we bought.  It will be next week before Amazon delivers the spray can. 

We didn't take Abby anywhere today.  Instead I had her outside any time I was working in the garage.  I also had her outside for a couple of trips to the garbage.  She was really good at checking in on a regular basis.  She must have gotten in a lot of running because she was sacked out on the couch for the evening.

After I was finished with the winch work I watched videos.  That quickly turned into a nap.  When I woke up it was time for dinner.  I had a frozen thing.  We'll see if it makes me sick.

After dinner I watched part of a movie.  I got bored as usual, but I'll probably go back and finish watching it.
