Well, I didn't quite get it done today, but I got it started.  She Who Must Be Obeyed hit me up with a new Honey Do list this morning...

Yesterday I pulled the dome off and scrapped off what was left of the old gasket and scrubbed it down with acetone to remove the old adhesive.  This afternoon I got the new Nomex gasket on.

After that I got the new hinge installed.

Then mated the dome onto the new hinge.

I discovered I didn't have the right size crescent wrench to get the hinge bolts into place and had to settle for tightening them down as tight as I could with a pair of open jawed pliers.  Tomorrow  I need to go by a hardware store so I can "bend the bolts" and get the hinge bands on correctly.  After I get that done I can pull the old guts out and replace them.  And I still need to get the new Egg-Mate tables on.  I'm really anxious to get it done.  The Egg has been hors de combat for a month now and I'm really jonesing for some good Que.

Hey Ron!  Good to hear from you again.  70 - eh?  Just getting started my man.  Just getting started...
