I woke up at 6:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. I played games for a while and then got up to feed the cats and take Abby for a walk. This time Ellen came along.
We had a good 2 mile walk. The temp was a little warmer today, but not enough to slow Abby down. I had breakfast when we got back. After that I went to the shed to do RC stuff.
I started by putting the motor on the 6x6. It wasn't all that hard. Unfortunately I missed the instruction on how to position the pinion gear. I ended up having to do the install twice. Then I put the 6x6 stuff away and got out the micro-b stuff.
I started by putting the last metal pieces on the front suspension. It wasn't a hard job, but the number of small parts that had to be dealt with made it a slow one. Then I tackled installing the electronics. I messed around for a while fitting the new body. It required some shimming. Then I put heat shrink on the receiver to insulated it when I mounted. Finally I spent a lot of time figuring out how to place things. It would have been easier if the body wasn't masked. That made it hard to see how things were fitting. I finally got the receiver where I wanted it while leaving room for the ESC.
By then I was tired of working on it and it was getting near lunch time. I went back to the trailer and asked Ellen to give me a much needed haircut. When that was done we took Abby with us to the Hubbard hamburger place. It was very good and has outside seating. Well be back.
We stopped at the club on the way back to buy more Helice ammo. They were setting up the Helice for a corporate thing. We decided to shoot, too. It turns out that the corporate guys never showed up. We had fun shooting with a couple of the regulars anyway.
After that it was video time. Dinner was frozen pizza.
After dinner we tried to watch Gutfeld on YouTube. Apparently Fox has had them block it. We ended up paying $5/month to watch it.
The evening ended up with surfing.
