Day 2994

 I woke up at 8 when Ellen did.  She did the pet stuff while I got dressed.  After breakfast I decided to set up the Defender electronics.

Setting up the ESC went well.  Setting the steering endpoints didn't.  For some reason the servo wouldn't return to center when turning right.  It did fine turning left.  I pulled the servo and set up an Amazon return.  I also ordered another one from another company.

By then it was 11 and I decided to go shooting (and exercise the dog).  We were at the club by noon.  That included getting sandwiches at the new Quik Stop.  They were good and also inexpensive.  It was 0 degrees when we got there, so it was comfortable in a t-shirt.

We let Abby off lead after the first 3 stations.  She quickly learned to "stay" while we shot.  Then she ran as we moved.  We always made sure that she was at least 30 feet back from the station.  It was great that there wasn't any one else shooting - no distractions.  Once again her obedience knocked it out of the park.

We stopped at Whole Paycheck on the way back to drop off the bad servo and get a couple of items.  we also stopped at the pet store for some cat food and a dog treat.  Abby recognized the place immediately.

When we got home I put everything away and then installed the brass portal housings that came in yesterday.  I didn't feel like doing any soldering.  Then it was a little video.  I quickly got bored and switched to surfing.

Ellen fixed sloppy Joe's for dinner.  A rear bumper for the Defender came, so I install it.  It looks great.

I went back to surfing.  I spent a lot of time on Amazon looking for tires and wheels for the Defender.  Then I discovered Ali Express.  There's 33 pages of discounted Injora stuff.  I have to go through it by hand though because the search function sucks.  I spent the rest of the evening doing that, but didn't get finished.
