Day 2979

 I woke up a little after8 and played games for a while.  It was raining again.  Actually it rained all day, a total of 1.2 inches.  I got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After that it was take out the garbage in the rain.  At least it wasn't raining very hard at that point.

After breakfast I didn't have anything to do, so I surfed for quite a while.  Somehow that turned into looking a RC cars again.  I tried to reduce the cost of the FMS car buy building it out of spare parts.  After a lot of surfing I determined that that wasn't going to work.

That's when I realized that there was no point in my buying another FMS car.  The car I was looking at was essentially the same as the one I have except it has a new body and a few improved parts.  My plan had been to buy the car and replace those parts with new ones.  Why not just continue to upgrade my current one?  That way ifI did buy a new car it would be the Traaxas, which is a new type for me.

I started pricing out parts for the further upgrading of my FMS.  I need motor, ESC, and receiver.  I also need rear portal weights.  Adding those will make the current FMS equal to the one I was planning on buying and building.  Unfortunately one of the parts I need is on back order and another comes from China.  It will be a while before I can work on an upgrade.

Tomorrow I'll program the ESC in the Jeep and give it some more runs through the obstacle course.  I might even order the Traaxas car.

I'd gotten a text from CVS saying that my drugs were available.  We went to get them. I'd planned to go to lunch, but Ellen didn't like my suggestion and wouldn't come up with one of her own.  We went home instead and I had a frozen thing.

Yo texted me.  Tony missed his doctor's appointment (surprise, surprise).  Yo is taking him to the doctor and Social Security tomorrow.

I didn't get a call from Perazzi.

The rest of the day was divided between surfing and videos.  Ellen fixed a grilled ham and cheese sandwich for dinner.
