Day 3676

 I woke up at 7 and played games until 7:30.  Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After that we left for Dripping Springs.  We got to Malone Diesel 10 minutes before our appointment.

We stayed while they changed the oil and fixed the backup lights.  It took a little over two hours.  There was a large field behind the shop.  We took Abby there to throw the Frisbee and let her run.  It was cool and she had a great time.  The field was large and she covered as much ground as she would have at Circle C.  After that we sat in the shop and read our phones.

When that was done we stopped at the breakfast/lunch place in Dripping Springs.  Ellen had breakfast and I bought a piece of cake for us to taste test.  While Ellen was eating I bought some BBQ next door.  We stopped at Dutch Bros on the way home.

When we got home I went to work finishing up the Slash.  Programming it was the normal amount of work except I had to use my complicated programmer.  It took a little while to get it working correctly.  I ended up updating the firmware in both the programmer and the ESC.  I dressed up the wiring and closed up the receiver box.  Then I cleaned up everything about the Slash.  I packaged up the parts and manuals and put away the tools.  I may start another car tomorrow.

After that I rotated between surfing, Aliexpress, and videos.  There might have been a nap during the videos.

Dinner was something frozen. 

After dinner it was Gutfeld followed by a couple of documentaries on FOX.
