Day 3047

 I woke up about 8 and played games for a long time.  I was really on a winning streak and didn't want to quit.  Eventually it was up for breakfast and a little surfing.

I really wanted to get the MT10 finished, so I got it out along with the ESC programmer and the controller.  I bound the receiver and controller and then set the throttle positions.  Then I set the steering trim.  Finally I used the programmer to program the ESC.  The car is really quick to accelerate, even though I was using a 2S battery.  It should scream on 3S.

It was a little after noon when I finished (did I mention I got a late start?).  We packed up the dog and went to run her at Circle C.  It was a steam bath outside - 84 degrees and 98% humidity.  Abby didn't seem to mind.  She took off running around the field to start with.  When we moved to the path she started making long loops into the woods on either side.  She always came back in a timely manner though.

Ellen had lunch before we left, but I didn't.  I stopped at Culver's for a hamburger.  Then we stopped at a pet store for a bag of dog food and a few cans of cat food.  After that it was home.

A really weird thing happened when we got back.  The garage door opener was missing from the visor and it wasn't in the car.  Abby must have knocked it down and it fell out when I got out of the car.

Ellen left for the club and I surfed for a while.  That got boring, so I did a little work on the Defender.  I went up to the mailbox at 4:30, but there was nothing there.  The mystery was solved when I got back.  I had 4 emails from AliExpress asking me to confirm some deliveries.  I looked at the tracking info.  4 packages had been delivered to the mailbox on Friday.  That's the day we noticed the mailbox door was open.  Yes, they'd been stolen.  I lost $23 worth of stuff.  What hurts the most is it's stuff that I need right now to finish up the MT10.

When Ellen got back we did a little shopping.  I ordered a new opener and a dog shit bag holder (the old one broke today).  I also ordered some Velcro ties for the dog/rc GPS.  We both decided on a new dog box pad.  Abby has chewed the old one up.  After that it was more videos.
