rain

After GMA I went into the shop and cut the protoboard and mounted the Arduino connectors as well as the RJ45 connectors. The RJ45's are epoxied down. Hope that holds up. Next I went outdoors and set up to begin fiberglass operations. The new fiberglass comes with tubes of hardener. You're supposed to count 14 drops per ounce!!!! Since there were 2 ounces of hardener for a gallon of resin I calculated that the needed amount it 1/4 oz per quart. I'm mixing the stuff a quart at a time to coat the panels. Just as I was preparing the last panel which was on the trailer it started raining!!!! I covered everything with the unused sheets of plywood since the resin was still wet on some of the panels and the third uncoated panel I did not want to get wet. Dinner was a rotisserie chicken from Krogers. On sale for 3.99 and I also had a 0.80 coupon making it 3.19. Wow. Moved the panels back into the garage - one unfinished and 2 finished panels. Will resume tomorrow. In the evening I wired up the RJ45 connectors previously glued to the Arduino board. I also watched "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock. I liked it, it was a cute movie. Went to bed at midnight.
