Day 3274

I woke up at 7:45 and played games for a while.  Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  I surfed for a while and then decided to choose what I was going to buy at the Amain black Friday sale.

I'd decided last night what truck I was going to buy.  Today I had to decide what upgrades I wanted.  There were quite a few choices to pick from.  I spent way more time than was necessary making the decisions.  I settled on a motor, transmission, and ESC upgrade.  I already have the receiver.

After that it was on to other choices.  I wanted some batteries for the mini-trucks.  Unfortunately the only way to find them is to look through every 2S and 3S battery that Amain had.  That took a lot of time.  I also looked for upgrades for the TT-02 kit I have.  Again a lot of choices, but I didn't choose anything.  Finally I looked for upgrades for the motor/esc for it.  I got some Hobbywing stuff because ti was 20% off.

I forgot to look for Fazor upgrades.  It was getting late in the afternoon and I was tired.  Things fell apart when I tried to check out.  Amain's checkout process isn't particularly user friendly.  I had to go to an old email just to get my member's discount.  Then I checked the wrong shipping box.  That caused the total price to double.

I went around and around trying to get the right price.  I finally did a rest of my computer.  Finally I figured out the shipping box problem.  The website was remembering the preference and filling it in each time I tried to check out.  

I also had to split the order into two orders in order to get the Hobbywing discount.  Unfortunately I forgot to use the Hobbywing coupon code.  Luckily I caught that, cancelled the order, and reordered with the right one.  The coupon was worth $30.

I was disgusted and tired of computers by then.  Ellen left to go to archery and I had leftovers for dinner, followed by videos for the evening.
