I woke up about 8. It was nice to get a full night's sleep. I played games and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After that I went to work on the Opel body wiring.
For once a portion of the work on the Opel went right. All of the wires were long enough. They all stripped and connected easily. Best of all it all worked when I was done. I was feeling good whenn it was done.
We ate lunch and then took Abby to Circle C. It was in the mid-60's, but she still ran really hard. She got an extra run in at the end of the walk when Ellen went to the can. I let Abby chase tweety birds all over squirrel town.
We stopped at CVS on the way home to pick up my Mounjaro. The cost was $11. Huh? I asked and the Xidra was still $500. I've got no clue how the pricing works.
When I got home I didn't feel like working on the Opel any more, so I started the cleanup operation instead. I got all of the leftover parts cataloged and put away. The new labeler came in handy. When that was done I surfed while Ellen watched a chick flick. Of coourse Aliexpress sucked me in for a while, but I didn't buy anything.
When Ellen's movie was over I started watching videos. That lasted through dinner (Ellen fixed chicken and rice). Eventually I got bored and decided to finish up the Opel.
That was a mistake. The old "everything goes wrong" was back in full force. I misread the instructions, undid something I'd done before, and then had to redo it. One of the parts I needed to install needed extensive modification as part of installing it. Punching mounting holes in the rear fenders was a pain because they were so flimsy. I did get it done though. The final step is installing the front sway bars. I have to wait for parts to do that.
I did discover that I could switch the body mounts on the Subaru with the ones on the Opel. If I do I'll be able to finish mounting the body. Given what happened this evening I'm not sure I want to.
