I woke up about 7:30, played games and then got up. I wanted to get my prescription from CVS before the ice started so I delayed breakfast and drove there.
The pharmacy was supposed to open at 9. I got there at 9:10. The doors were shut. There was a guy inside but he ignored me. I stood there for about 10 minutes and then left. According to the weather reports that's going to be all of the driving for the next few days.
When I got back I turned on the light in the well enclosure and the heaters in the well house, apartment, and trailer. The temperature was 36 and I wanted to get a head start on the temperature drop. The temperature continued to go down slowly all day. It's 23 at 8:30 PM and scheduled to get down into the teens tonight. There's also supposed to be significant freezing rain. That's started. There's a thin coating of ice on the car.
I'm really hoping that we don't lose power. The power company has done a lot of work cutting back trees from the lines. I hope that helps. My real worry is that something will happen on the power generation side of things. Also I don't want to have to cut down any more trees.
I had a late breakfast and then put away the remains of the work on the Mecrob spider. Then I got out the Opel kit and set it on the table. That's all the work that got done on it today. I planned on doing more, but it just didn't happen.
I watched videos for a while and then switched to surfing. I'm kind of burnt out on video searching. Of course I ended up on Aliexpress. I worked out what it would cost to get parts to build a 1/10 flatbed trailer. I also found a way to build a hot shot crawler a little cheaper.
That led to watching videos on GLP-1 and a couple of new RC cars. I also collected some videos on the Corvair chassis. It's not going to be a first class crawler, but I should be able to make it into a workable one.
All in all it was a pretty uneventful day. I hope the next 3 or 4 days are the same. The weather guy is hinting at another cold snap in a week. Crap.
