Day 2969

 I woke up about 8:30.  It was cold out, about 20.  Both Ellen and I stayed in bed for quite a while.  Finally it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.

There was no point in going outside.  The temperature didn't get above the low 20's all day.  At bed time it was 17.  I'm worried about the apartment pipes, but there's nothing that I can do about them.

I spent a large part of the morning researching the costs of doing a FCX or a TRX-4M build.  The FCX clearly comes up on top.  The cost of using a brushless motor is the same for both.  

While doing that I found a carbon fiber frame for the Jeep.  It costs $19 and might give me better performance of the suspension.  It would also take a lot of effort to change the frames, and effort is what I'm really looking for.  We'll see.

When the research was done I got out all of the obstacles I'd made and set them up in the living room.  Both the Jeep and the Power Wagon ran the course.  I had to add some weights to the front of the Jeep to get it to climb the stump obstacle.  The Power Wagon actually did better than the Jeep.  I think it's because its tires are better.

I quit when it was time for a late lunch and football.  The first game was Green Bay vs the Cowboys.  Green Bay killed them.  Yeah.  The second game was LA against Detroit.  Detroit won by a point for the first time since 1992.  Yeah again.

During the games I surfed on the iPAD.   During half time I watched videos.

Just like yesterday no word from Yo or Tony.  Perhaps my ignoring them is making a point.
