Day 2326

 I woke up about 8 and played games for almost an hour.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  When breakfast was over I got out the Ryft and its transmitter.

I set the throttle parameters on the Ryft.  Then I centered the steering.  I had to move the servo saver a little to get it straight.  Then I set the throttle endpoints.  That finished the programming.  Just testing it in the kitchen while I was programming it showed that this thing is scary fast, even in low gear.

I put the Ryft away and got out the Double Dare.  I did the same thing to it - set the throttle parameters, centered the steering, and set the endpoints.  The steering took more time because it's 4 wheel steering.

I was on a roll, so I got out the Power Wagon.  I set the throttle parameters, but that was all.  When I tried to do the steering one of the steering links fell off.  I knew it was loose, but this was unusable.  I put it away and got on Amazon to order another link.  I also ordered some replacement lights to fix the one I broke on the TRX-4.

That was the end of the RC work for today.  I spent aout an hour looking for places to go and things to do once we leave Midland.  I think we'll end up going on I10 to Tucson and then north.  After that I spent the rest of the day surfing.  Ellen spent most of it in the garage.  She finished masking the second TRX-4 body and painted the body color.  It looks really good.

Ellen fixed chicken parmigiana for dinner.  After dinner I watched a couple of movies.  One was really good.  I stopped the other about halfway through because it was boring.
