I woke up at 7:30 and played games for an hour. Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast. After that I surfed for a while because we weren't due at John and Patty's until about 1.
Surfing got boring, so I went out to the shed. I rearranged some stuff and put a single Kraton battery on the charger. Then I helped Ellen a little with painting the B74 body.
When the battery was charged I put it in the Kraton and ran it around the lawn in back of the shed. Even though it was at half power it was really fast. It didn't run for as long as I thought it might. When I took it back to the shed the inside was filled with grass clippings. They had clogged both the motor and ESC fans. I suspect that there was a thermal shutdown. The motor temp was 120 degrees.
I had to pick out some of the junk with pliers and blew out the rest with the compressor. There was a lot. As soon as that was done we left for John and Patty's.
Traffic was going fast on the way up. Unfortunately a car in front of us threw up a rock that broke the windshield. Crap.
We got to John and Patty's on time. It was a nice sunny day, but not hot. We sat outside and talked for hours. We ordered dinner from Nona Amelia's. I insisted we pay. During dinner we remembered that today was our wedding anniversary. It's number 45.
After that there was more talk. We also watched the last inning of the Dodgers game. They won.
We left about 8:30. Traffic was moving well. The bullseye break n the windshield had expanded into three large cracks.
When we got home I did a bunch of investigating and then bought another RC vehicle - a 1/24 truck. It was highly rated.
While talking with John I decided to look a little more intently at buying a pull behind trailer to get us to Texas. We'll see.
