Day 2225

 I woke up at 8 and played games until 8:30.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast, followed by some surfing.  John and Melissa came by a little after 9 to say goodbye.

After they left I started working on the Star Wars LEGO.  I finished it and put it in the guest bedroom.  Then I went out to do errands.  I took the recycle to the can.  then I took the ice chest Ellen used for the turkey back to the storage building.  I also turned on a heater in the apartment bathroom where they said there was some water on the floor.

Finally I started cleaning out the TV packing material in the garage.  I took the pile of Styrofoam to the garbage.  It just barely fit.  Then I cut up unused cardboard and put it in the recycle.  When I was finished both cans were full and I put them out on the street.

By then it was 78 with 85% humidity.  I was hot, sweaty, and tired (it got up to 83 later).  I went back inside and surfed until lunch.  I had a HEB salad that was nearing being "too old".  I continued to surf for several hours.  Melissa texted to say they thought the water in the apartment was from a leak in the sink drain.  I decided it was a tomorrow problem.

I finally got guilty about not doing thing and started to look into starting work on the RC truck again.  I put batteries in the transmitter and got out the battery and charger.  The charger is quite complex and I took quite a while reading the instructions.  Then I tried to figure out to wire in lights.  I think I can use an output of the speed controller, but hours of searching didn't uncover any documentation on the output.  I sent an email to Traxxas asking about it.

The end result is I'm ready to start work on the truck whenever I want.

By then it was time for dinner.  It was leftovers again, but still good.  After dinner was TV.  First it was a movie, and then it was some old comedy shows.  I'd forgotten how funny they are.
