I woke up at 7:30, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. It was going to be hot today, so after waiting and hour after Abby ate we took her to Circle C.
There was a lot of people at the park (it's Sat.). They all seemed to be dong things at the kiddie area or on the disc golf. The rest of the park didn't have very many people at all. Abby exhibited her normal level of activity. It probably would have been a lot less if we'd waited longer.
With the park done we went on some errands. We stopped at the post office to pick up the package from China. Then we fueled up the car. The final stop was the pet store for cat food. We really didn't need any, but they had it in stock and on sale.
When we got home I had lunch, opened the China package, and put all of it away. One of the items was the springs for the trailer. Now I can really get on it.
The first thing learned was that the website's measurements on the springs was wrong. I had to redo the drawing that I'd made of the spring mounting. I ended up doing it twice. I finished it once and then decided to change it.
With the drawing done I went to the garage to start work. The pop rivets from Amazon had showed up. I turned out I didn't need them. I changed the way I was going to attach the L channels to the sides of the deck. That meant that I needed to use the rivets I already had. They worked well though and I got three sides of the deck done. I won't do the last one until I've figured out how I want to do the hitch mount.
By then it was almost 6. I cut the bases for the spring mounts and called it a day.
It was leftovers for dinner. After dinner I spent some time on Aliexpress because they sent me a coupon. I found some great deals on parts for the trailer and ordered $12 worth.
After that it was videos for the rest of the evening.
