Day 3687

 I woke up about 7, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  The temperature was in the low 20's, so no chance of going outside.

There was no chance of driving anywhere either.  Last night there was a little freezing rain, enough to cover everything.  Later sleet came down.  That covered everything with a little of an inch of hard crust.  I mean hard. When I walked on it I didn't leave footprints.  Driving on that would have been very dicey.

I started to work on the Opel.  

 Today was a hard day.  I kept fumbling parts and having to double check my work.  It ate up a fair amount of time and effort.  I did manage to construct the chassis, steering links, and install the front and rear diffs.  I'd constructed the diffs a long time ago.  At that time it was time to build the center diff.  I didn't have that in me.

I boxed everything up to keep it away from the cats.  Then I cut out the plastic parts for the inner fenders.  I can use the extra to practice pin striping.  That saves me buying a throw away body. 

When that was done I did some surfing, which turned into an Aliexpress shopping session.  I really wasn't interested in anything and didn't buy anything.  I just needed something to do while the football game was on.

Austin is pretty much shut down.  The doctor's office sent me an email saying that they cancelled my appointment tomorrow.  That's fine with me, I wasn't going anyway.
