Day 3678

 I woke up at 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  When that was over I went back to the Mecrob spider.

I built up the rest of the legs.  It was a lot of parts and a lot of time.  By the time I was done it was almost noon and 72 degrees.  I decided it was time for Circle C and lunch.

Abby wasn't near as energetic today as she was yesterday.   We did the normal walk.  She covered a fair amount of ground, but nothing special.  When we got back to the car she was ready to get in it.

We went to the restaurant by Tomlinson's for lunch (actually brunch).  We had these great french bacon pastries.  I had a prosciutto and egg sandwich.  It was very good.  When we were finished we went to Tomlinson's to by cat food.  We also got Abby a birthday cookie for her birthday.  Her birthday was actually 6 days ago.

When we got home I handled something that I've been meaning to do for quite a while.  The insides of the windows in the Audi are filthy.  The back window is bad enough that it's hard to see out of.  I cleaned all of them.  I also cleaned the outside of the front windows and the glossy black parts of the interior.

With the windows done I went inside to watch videos for a short while and then went back to work on the spider.  I'm not sure what I built, but I think it was the mouth.  After that I was tired of building it, so I switched to researching Corvair station wagons.  I found all of the colors.  A couple of them are ones I might use.  I could also try something less standard.  We'll see.  I also looked on Aliexpress for lights.  I'll have to wait until I get the body to buy any.

Dinner was leftovers from brunch.  Ellen spent the afternoon and evening on chick flicks.  I watched the rest of a 2 hour video on Russian soldiers in Ukraine.  It was made by a Russian freelancer.  It was interesting, but I still don't have any sympathy for them.  Then I switched to videos on the chassis kit for the Corvair.

In general people aren't too impressed with the kit or it's instructions.  I've looked over the instructions and I don't like them either.  I did find a couple of good videos to follow along on.  I also looked at some trail riding videos.  The chassis makes concessions in the name of realism that limit it's performance.  However I think that I can make it work fairly well if I install real shocks.  I'll probably also end up loosing a lot of the dress up parts.  That's fine with me.

The temperature is supposed to drop significantly tomorrow.  We'll see.
