I Could Have Been a Surgeon!

WHERE ARE WE? Magnolia Beach, Texas

Easter Weekend is sneaking up on us and the beach is filling up.  The campers next to us are set up for a party.  They do have kids so hopefully they don't party all night.  They are generator campers so I'm sure it will run all night.


Not much to report today although I did put my magnifying glass that I bought yesterday to good use.  If you remember a few weeks ago I posted about how I clipped the wires off one of the slide motors.  Well I have been checking and new motors run between $100 and $400.  So I figured maybe if I could see good enough, I could solder the 4 wires back in place and fix the problem.  The magnifying glass fixed the seeing problem, but there was still the problem of the shaky hands.  I took my time and believe it or not, I got them back in place and it works.  Yah for me!!! I should have been a surgeon!! So I saved $102.01 because I paid $4.99 for the magnifying glass.  

The cheapest motor I could find.  I won't need it now.

Can you see the soldering iron shaking?
4 wires all connected

Ed and I had to make a quick trip to Walmart in Port Lavaca to get some supplies.  It was a nice little break from the beach.


Another ship came in this evening and the waves from its wake rolled up on the shore.  I am always mesmerized by them. Good Nite!!
