I woke up at 7:45, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After that I took a two mile walk with Abby. Then we left Abby at the trailer and went to ACE.
We bought a case of practice ammo and some caramel corn. I also got a couple of plastic trays to put in the desk cubby holes. Then we went across the street to a grocery store. It was upscale from Wally World. We bought a whole lot of food because it will be a while before we have a chance to shop again. The last stop was for fuel - $5.86.
When we got home I connected up the sewer hose. I planned to dump the tanks after dinner. Then I staged a videos/nap session. Eventually I got bored and started to mod the scx30.
I started at the front. I needed to replace the axles, diff gears, steering links, and the suspension links. That basically required completely disassembling the front end. It took hours. The tiny screws used are really hard to manipulate. Again I had to use the special tools I'd purchased. I had to break to dump the tanks and have dinner, but I did get it all accomplished. Then I put everything away.
That pretty much took up all of the evening. We took a short walk with Abby. The weather is changing. The wind is blowing and the temp is down to 79. Wonderful. It's cooling off just as we leave.
Tomorrow's leg is 373 miles - the longest one of the trip. Hopefully doing it on Sunday will make getting through Salt Lake easier.
