busy Sunday

Bad start.. 
Woke up with acid indigestion..
Ribs last night for dinner.. 
Actual acid reflux! Now I know how bad it is.. had sips of water.. no help. Tried a bit of honey.. better..so had several spoons of honey.. soothing..and within 20 mins.. it didnt hurt and i didnt need to cough..
So went back to bed..propped up, till the cat came in.. finally rolled on my side and went back to sleep..Jeff texted at 9:30..said he would be over in an hour.. so I got up and dressed..
Cleaned up the house a bit..and started working on a radio.. jeff came and checked the shower out.. 
He said it looks easy.. I will order the parts. And he will bring the tools..and a crimp tool..later I ordered the valve, spout and overflow cover..all will arrive by Wednesday.
So Jeff will be back Saturday.
Maybe a couple hours.. 
..
So I went in the garage to work on Revingtons doors..replaced the bolts with smaller ones.. it is so close! 
I can close the doors..the rear door window is on the gasket. I asjusted the front and got the pitch and height correct.. just need a little more space between the doors.. the top and bottom is not touching..the middle is..cant slip a paper between them.
So.. the next try..is drill out the spare hinges..and replace them.. just drill out the threads..may be just enough.
If so.. I need to install the rear door panel I epoxied..and pull the door panel and mirror off the spare car..
And get it all installed. Make sure it all aligns and I can close the window..then pull the passenger seat..and put that in..
Only if the drilled hinges work........
.....
We will see...
...
I went back to the second radio, fixed one of the issues.  Found tuning instructions.. calibrated the bias..and set the power.. and the meter and the modulation.. needs a power coil.. and recieve and synth tuning.. 
.. 

Got a text from the Mini girl in Colorado last night...and today..
She asked if I was coming to Colorado this year.. if there was a Mini rally.. not this year.. just in Michigan.. and maybe the local club doing PikesPeak.. 
I could do that instead.. 
Its a thought...
.. 
I need to use some vacation time..
I need to plan...
