Day 3132

 I woke up about 7:30 and played games until 8.  Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  When that was done I loaded the laundry stuff into the car and Ellen left for the laundromat.  I went to the shed to work on the Grom.

I started by constructing the mounting pace for the ESC.  That involved cutting pieces of some foam like material and fitting them into the bottom of the car.  I had to cut three pieces.  They were all irregular and pretty small.  Fitting them involved a lot of trial and error.  The Dremel worked well though.  After I cut them I glued them to the car.

I test fit the original motor heat sink on the new motor.  The new motor is much smaller in diameter.  I carefully crushed it in the vice.  Again it was a lot of trial and error.  The next step is to cut the ESC motor lead and solder on connectors.  I didn't feel like doing that, so I quit.

I went back to the trailer and got Abby for a walk.  We walked all of the way around the course.  She had a great time and acted perfectly.

Ellen was home when we got back.  I started watching videos and promptly took a fairly long nap.  I woke up about 2 and had a sandwich.  Then it was more videos until I got bored and switched to surfing.  Ellen started watching chick flicks.

Dinner was a frozen thing.  After dinner was more surfing.  Abby got some energy back and we went out for some retrieves.  She did well, but I stopped her when she started to get bored.
