Day 3351

 I woke up a little before 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  It was cold again today, 26, so I just surfed for a while.

Eventually I got out the Reflex.  Now that I had all of the parts I made real progress.  I soldered the connectors onto the ESC and installed it.  Then I wired everything up and centered the servo.  I had to put together the servo saver.  That took some effort.  The spring was really hard to install.  After that I hooked up the steering.  The last mechanical thing that I had to do was attach the wing.  That was easy.

The rest of the work was electrical.  I did some of the wiring routing.  That was difficult because it's a small car and there isn't a lot of room.  I got an email that the Chinese stuff was at the post office.  So I stopped work and we went to the post office.

We also stopped at the pet store for cat food.  It was past lunch time, so we stopped at Culver's on the way back.  Their hamburgers are pretty good and I really like their french fries.

When we got back Ellen turned on videos.  I decided to watch also.  That took us to past dinner (frozen).  Eventually I got bored with that and went back to the Reflex.  I basically finished the build.  I installed the receiver, capacitors, and power switch.  I also finished the wire routing.  The last thing was putting on the tires.

The next steps are programming the car and installing the lights.  Installing the lights will involve a little work in the garage.  I'm hoping it will be a little warmer tomorrow, but I'm not optimistic.
