Day 3046

 I woke up a little before 8 and played games for quite a while. Then it was up for breakfast.  After breakfast was a little surfing before I started work on the MT10.

I began by installing the motor, motor fan, ESC, and receiver.  That all went pretty smoothly.  I think that I got the gear mesh pretty good.  Then I went on to install the rear lights.  I don't have the front ones from China yet.

I only had 3 red LEDs left.  Through utter stupidity I managed to blow them up.  I decided to use orange ones instead.  I had to remove the wheely bar to install them.  Luckily I tested them first.  I'd blown one up and had to wire another one.  Of course wiring them was a pain.  The last task was putting a XT60 connector on the battery.  That was a real pain in the ass.  I ruined one connector before i got it done.

It took me until 4 to get all of the soldering and wire placement done.  It looks pretty good though.

After that I switched to videos.  They were interrupted for a while by a short nap.

Ellen fixed chicken and rice again for dinner.  I'm getting a little tired of it.  After dinner it was more videos until I got sick of them and switched to a movie.  It wasn't great, but at least it was interesting enough that I didn't turn it off.

I didn't get around to programming the MT10.  I did order a battery for it and some more red LEDs.  That's stuff I order from Amazon.
