Jan 7th, 2013 - Yuma Az


Jan 7th, 2013 - Yuma Az                                                                 Weather – lo 44/hi 65 clear 
Total Kilometers this trip -  11067.5                                                Km travelled this day – 0

Picked up Herb today, to do our man shopping.  We both needed a part, ¼ inch shoulder bolt and nylon lock nut for Herb, and a 7/16 – 20 plug, or bolt, for myself.  Herb was successful, I had to go the longer route and have it ordered.  The plug was going to be for the HWH jack, but instead I ordered the actual switch.

Herb’s project was the closing mechanism for his bay door.  It entailed getting a piece of plastic and then filing it down to the correct size, and then drilling it, so the shoulder bolt would fit.  Do you know how hard it is to find a piece of nylon or plastic that is round.  Well, Vadie found a tool that had such a handle, and that is what we used.
 the scraper - cut up into pieces - the white piece is the door closing roller
we ended up making three new ones

Later in the afternoon, I continued on with my LED project in the storage bays.  They are all wired, but the LED’s have not been installed, - tomorrow maybe.

Special people today – Frank –  another one of my twin grandsons.  He is 16 years young, and like his brother a very strapping, good looking lad.  Both of the twins go to Air Cadets, and have made quite a name for themselves.  As with Jake, Vadie and I thankyou greatly with all your help whenever we require it.
