I woke up at 8:15 and played games for a while. Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast. After a little surfing I went out to the shed to work on the Grom.
I started by installing the fan on the ESC. Because the new fan is shorter than the old I had to grind down the 4 mounting screws. The result just barely fits below the body. SUCCESS. Then I measured out the motor wires and cut them. The colors on the ESC motor wires don't match those on the motor. Luckily it doesn't matter on an unsensored motor. I soldered connectors onto the ends of the wires. That turned out to be surprisingly easy.
Finally I installed the ESC and its capacitors. The next step is to connect the motor wires and install the receiver. I didn't feel like doing that, so I just went inside and surfed for a while. Eventually we left to go to the McMinnville farmer's market. I took the truck because it hadn't been driven in a while.
The drive to McMinnville was nice. It's the first time we've been on the ferry. It was very busy. There were a lot of people at the market. We bought cherries, strawberries, and some morning buns. Then we walked through downtown. Abby wasn't as good at heeling as she should have been. In her defense there was a lot of distractions.
We stopped at a grocery store on the way home for some much needed groceries. When we got home it was videos. They turned into a nap.
I told Ellen that she had to started cooking. Both the freezer and the pantry are full of food. Tonight she fixed shrimp and noodles.
After dinner was more videos until bedtime.
