I woke up at 6:30, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. That sounds early, but I got to sleep an hour early last night.
It was another cold morning, in the teens. I went back to work on the Opel. I got quite a bit done. I installed all four axles. That included building the CV joins for each axle and drilling holes in the axle housings. When I finished that I just didn't feel like doing anything more. I still have to install the shocks, electronics, and tires. The final bit will be wiring up the lights.
I switched from the Opel to working out a price list for the flatbed trailer that I'm planning on building. I went back to the garage and found materials for everything except the frame, springs, hitch, and tie downs. I got on Aliexpress and ordered them. Of course I spent a long time insuring that I had the lowest prices. The whole thing should come in for less than $30.
A really weird thing happened in the afternoon. I came in from the job and sat down at the computer. A little later I lost sight in my right eye. My vision was covered wit gray with a few glimpses of normal sight peeking through. I thought that I was having a stroke. Fortunately it cleared up in a few minutes. I called the eye doctor and made an appointment for tomorrow.
The weather here still sucks. It's really cold over night and in the morning. It warmed up to the 40's this afternoon. It's supposed to get cold again starting tomorrow through the weekend.
I decided to go for a walk, mainly so Abby could run. It is muddy, so I walked up and down the driveway. During one of my turns at the bottom I noticed Abby coming out from under the deck. An animal had broken a hole in the wooden lattice by the Wisteria. I got out the remaining chicken wire and Ellen helped me repair it. Abby had a really long run while we were working. She's a very tired dog tonight.
Dinner was leftover steak. After dinner I surfed and watched videos on the computer while Ellen watched chick flicks on the TV.
