Day 3668

 I woke up at 8, got up and called the pump company.  They said that someone would contact me today.  Then I did the pet stuff and had breakfast.  After that I continued work on the BRZ.

I started out completing the wiring.  It wasn't hard, but it was time consuming.  The last "real" work was to lower the front body mounts.  This took a while because I wanted to get it just right. 

All of this took until about noon.  The pump people called.  Apparently they weren't quite sure who had come to the house.  They said that they'd call back with an estimate.

I then undertook the cleanup from the BRZ build.  I packed up the extra parts, threw away the garbage, and put away the documentation.  I decided to try to find some decals to cover up the body post holes.  I have a lot of decals.  The effort devolved into a combination sorting and cutting out operation along with the search.  I spent the tie because it was mindless.  I ended up with two small black stickers over the front holes and Amain logo buttons over the back.  I also now have a whole bunch of sponsor's stickers.

Abby hadn't run, so we took her to Circle C.  The pump people called while we were driving and said that they will be here tomorrow at 9.  Abby covered a lot of ground at the park.  She stayed in the shade though because the temp was 84.  On the way home we picked up my Mounjaro.  It's back to $626.

When we got home I sat down to watch videos and fell asleep.  I didn't have lunch, so when I woke up I had brisket for dinner.

After dinner I decided to take stock of what electronics I'll need for the remaining 6 RC car kits that I have.  Three of them are complete.  The CAPO needed two micro servos, the Dirt Cross needed a receiver and a standard servo, and the Corvair needed a standard servo and three micro servos.

I hit Aliexpress and ordered 2 standard servos, a cheap micro servo,  and a receiver.  I also ordered a couple of other dress up parts.  The prices on Aliexpress are still much lower than those in the US, but they are going up.

The shopping took up most of the evening.  When I was done I did a little surfing and went to bed.
