Day 3387

 I woke up around 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  It was raining this morning, which negated any outdoor work.  I got out the micro-b stuff to work on instead.

I modified some connectors to allow me to connect the ESC to the receiver without having them stick up much above the receiver.  The trouble started when I tried to test them.  I couldn't get the ESC to drive the receiver.  It didn't help that the ESC receiver wire didn't have a color code.  Of course there isn't any documentation either.

I finally tried to connect the ESC using it's Bluetooth connection and my phone.  That failed too.  That's when I came to the realization that the ESC was garbage.  Of course it is too late to return it.  I ordered another one from Amazon.  There goes $80.

I gave up on the micro-b, did a little surfing, and had lunch.  I wanted to accomplish something today, so I started doing trip planning.  It was fun.  I decided that this trip we'd stop and smell the roses along the way.  We identified a bunch of stuff to do in Amarillo and Albuquerque.  We'll stay an extra day in both places.  We'll also shoot there.

I mapped out the travel from Albuquerque to St. George.  At that point I got tired of trip planning and quit.

I let the dog out while I was going to the can.  When I got back Ellen was picking up the body of the gray squirrel.  Abby had killed it.  I'm kind of sad.  That was a really cool looking squirrel.  She can kill all of the brown ones she wants, but I wish that she'd left the gray one alone.

I ended up spending the rest of the afternoon and the evening watching videos.  Dinner was something frozen.
