Day 2494

 I slept in to 8.  Then it was an hour of games.  After that I got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  When that was done I texted Hooch to find out if we were still on for tomorrow.  He said we were.

That meant that I had to get the RC cars ready.  I charged up batteries for the two mini-b's and the B6.4.  I also got out the second transmitter and bound it to the B6.4.  That's when I ran into trouble.  At first the throttle wouldn't work.  I messed with it for quite a while.  I finally reset the ESC.  Then it worked.  Unfortunately the reset turned off reverse.  I got out the blutooth receiver and tried to use it to program the ESC.  After many tries and a check of the manual it still didn't work.  I finally ended up setting it by using the set button.  All of this took a long time.

The only good part was that I found out that using the set button wasn't that hard.  I used it to change the mini-b's drag setting.There's only 8 days until we leave.  During that time we need to see Hooch, see John and Patty, do the wash, wash the car, do the sewer, and do the final packing.  I decided to get a start on everything today by loading up the truck.

I put the ammo we'll need for the trip in the truck.  I also put in the Casoron.  I put a couple of boxes of miscellaneous stuff in and the bicycle batteries (to remove weight in the trailer).  Everything got wrapped in plastic bags.  I'm taking the truck tomorrow, so I put the cars and the cans in it also.  Finally I rearranged the stuff in the basement a little.

By then it was past lunch time.  I went inside and made a sandwich.  There wasn't much else I could do concerning trip preparation, so I did a little surfing.  Then it was videos interspersed with short naps.

Ellen fixed frozen fish for dinner.  After that we watched the new Minions movie followed by the original one.
