Day 3665

 I woke up at 7, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After breakfast I took Abby with me to run errands.

I stopped at the post office, got gas, bought $182 of cat food, and took Abby for a long walk at Circle C.  When I got home Melissa and John were at the apartment where John was getting a haircut.  I'd brought the BRZ and Slash bodies in, so Ellen and I started working on them.

The BRZ turned out really well except for the front of the hood.  The masking had failed and there's some black paint on it.  The Slash was a great example of what happens when you don't do a good job of asking.  Most of the areas have failures of one sort or another.  I put the Slash away and went to work on the BRZ.

I put together a wing to use on the BRZ.  Then I carefully measured out where to punch the holes to mount it.  It worked out perfectly.  By then John and Melissa had come over.  John suggested that we work on the Polaris, so we did. 

We pumped out the old gas and put in the new.  While I was doing that John installed the new battery.  After a little bit of messing around the thing started right up.  We ran it around the neighborhood and it ran really well.  We'll have to take it shooting when John and Melissa leave.

Ellen, John, and Melissa went to Costco while I was putting everything away.  I had lunch and went back to work on the BRZ.  I attached the wing and started work on the decals.  There's at least 55 of them.  I spent a lot of time "improving" the rear view mirrors, and finally did it Tamiya's way.  I only got about 10 done before it was time for football.

Ellen fixed steak on the Traeger.  When it was done we talked and watched football.  The game was over late, but John and Melissa stayed to watch the news about the Venezuela invasion.
