I woke up at 7:30, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. It was going to be hot again, so I took Abby out to walk. She had a good time and I got my two miles in.
When I finished walking I went to the garage and set up everything to grease one of the trailer wheel's bearings. I got everything set up and jacked up a wheel. When I removed the dust cover I discovered that the axle didn't have a grease fitting. It was the one they replaced in Fort Stockton. Crap. I put everything away and went back to the house.
I called Malone diesel. They said they could grease the bearings, but to call back on Wednesday. Later I got a text about the car. I had to ask for it though. They are still working on it.
I wanted to get something accomplished, so I went out to glue the mower seat. Ellen helped. I hope it works out. The grass hasn't grown enough to need mowing though.
After that I surfed through lunch. At one point Devon jumped up on the table, grabbed one of the 1/64 cars, and took off with it. We chased him down and got it back.
After lunch we went to HEB for bananas and the post office for a Chinese package. The package contained some hex hubs for the mini Kraton and diff gears for the scx30. None of the hex hubs fit. It's because the mini Kraton uses non standard axle diameters. Crap. That means I have no way of widening the track except buying new wheels and tires. The SCX part was a bust, too. Installing it requires taking the front end completely apart. It's a nightmare of really, really small screws and parts. I decided it wasn't worth it.
Dinner was something frozen. After some videos I took Abby out for another walk. It was 84 degrees, but really pleasant. I walked another mile and then quit because daylight was fading and I didn't want Abby running into any wildlife.
The rest of the evening was videos.
