I woke up at 6:30 and couldn't go back to sleep so I played games and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.It was a cold morning, so I went back to work on the Mecrob spider.
I finished the build, but it was a bit of a battle. One step involved stringing 6 parts and three sub-assemblies on a screw. Unfortunately the screw was just long enough. It took a lot of jockeying to get the parts lined up so that I could get the nut on. The rest of the steps were much easier. The result is a pretty cool "head" with a lot of LED lights. Some of them are even light fibers.
When that was done it was warm enough to take Abby to Circle C. In addition there was a China package for me at the post office and I wanted to get fuel and some more food. By all accounts we're going to have several freezing days that could include freezing rain.
When we got back we ate lunch. Then we sat down to watch videos. I ended up taking a nap (surprise). When I woke up I put the Chinese stuff away. I'm getting quite a collection of "baggage" for the Corvair.
Ellen had suggested getting some miniature ducks for the dash of my Jeep RC. I thought that was a great idea. It led to the afternoon and evening Aliexpress session. I bought the ducks, a stand for the spider, and a bunch of larger magnets for the RC bodies. The ones that I have now don't hold well enough.
Ellen fixed Jambalaya with the BBQ sausage for dinner. The sausage is hot enough. Adding the Jambalaya made it even hotter. It will take a while for us to consume all of it.
When I finally got sick of Aliexpress I spent the rest of the evening surfing.
