I woke up about 8, played games for a while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After that it was some surfing and more looking at things for the Jeep and FMS.
I've basically got the Jeep completely fitted out. The only improvement part would be an adjustable servo mount for the rear steering servo. I can only get that as a kit with another servo. I may do that if I buy the Traaxas. I did discover that the brushless motor/ESC combo's that I'm getting will support 3S batteries.
I went looking for 3S batteries that would fit the Jeep and FMS. They aren't easy to find. There are just a few that are usually used in planes and drones. Also it's hard to find one that will fit in the FMS. There just isn't much room to mount one. I did find several candidates though. I won't buy one until I have the FMS modified.
CVS texted me saying that they had more drugs for me. We stopped there and then went on to Torchy's for lunch. After that we went to the coffee shop to get coffee and dessert. That way Ellen was happy and I got my coffee.
When I got home the receiver for the FMS was here. I messed around with it some and found a place on the FMS that should allow me room to use a 3S battery. We'll see.
About that that time I got two emails from FedEx. The barrel is in their position and on the way to Austin. It should arrive on Monday. Unfortunately it had to be sent to the home address. I'll probably end up waiting at the gate for it.
The rest of the evening was videos.
It's such a relief to have the barrel on its way here. I've spent a lot of time obsessing angrily about it. I really work hard not to do that about things that are going badly, but it's really hard for me to do. n fact I immediately started worrying about a delivery failure.
