I woke up about 7:30, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. It was cold, 44 degrees. I did some surfing and then decided to continue work on the Slash.
I installed the servo and the receiver box. I also installed the receiver. I didn't install the ESC because the chassis is designed for the Traxxas ESC only. I needed to come up with some sort of adapter. I finished some other chassis things and attached the rear end to the chassis.
By then it was after 11 and the temperature had warmed up a little. There was a strong north wind though. We loaded up Abby and drove to the gun show in Dripping Springs. It only had 10 or so tables and very few buyers. Prices on pistols and AR's seemed OK. Some of the other prices were ridiculous, particularly the guy selling magazines. I didn't spend much time there.
We went over to the soccer fields because it was really cold out in the wind. We could use the trees there as shelter while we walked. That mad it relatively pleasant. On the way home we stopped at Dutch Bros. It's the first coffee I've had in weeks. It was great.
When I got home I went back to Aliexpress. I spent hours finding the absolute best price on 4 or 5 items. That ran until dinner time. After dinner I went out to the garage and made a mount for the ESC. Then I installed it. By then there was a football game on. We'll have to see who wins.
It's supposed to be cold for the next few days. I predict a lot of in the house activity.
