Day 3679

 I woke up a little before 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  It was 44 degrees out, so I went to work on the Mecrob spider.

I put the legs and the mouth on the body.  That doesn't sound like much, but there are 8 legs and the mouth is a complicated sub-assembly.  Then I ran into a problem.  The mouth wasn't fitting correctly and the instructions weren't showing me why.  After half a hour of looking through different pages I finally figured it out.  Two of the mouth parts were assembled correctly, but positioned incorrectly.  I fixed the problem and quit working on the spider.  I'd had enough frustration for the day.  The picture only instructions aren't clear sometimes.

 It was still cold, so I started surfing.  Eventually it started warming up.  I ate lunch and then decided it was time to take Abby to Circle C.  Ellen's asshole was giving her trouble, so she stayed home.

I stopped at HEB and the post office before going to the park.  I got fiber drinks at HEB and Aliexpress packages at the post office.

It was cool, so Abby had a good run at the park.  One odd thing was that she never took a drink even though we walked all around the park. 

When I got home I unwrapped all of the stuff in the Aliexpress packages.  There were 10 or so items.  Then I put the items away except for a winch and a front bumper.  I assembled them.  It took a while because the bumper had a lot of parts and the winch barely fit.

I fixed some brisket for dinner and started watching the Seahawks play.  They killed San Francisco which made me happy.  I cruised Aliexpress while it was on.  I ordered 8 items, some of which I was about to order from Amazon for a lot more money.  I also ordered a couple of things from Amazon.

I went to bed when the game was over.
