Day 3717

 I woke up a little before 7, played games for a little while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  then we loaded up the dog and went to Costco.

We needed water and I wanted to get there in the hour before they let everyone in.  We got there just after they opened the doors.  There were very few people in the store, so it was easy to look at stuff.  We bought the water, some fish, and a "healthy" cereal.

On the way out of the parking lot we stopped at the pet store to buy more cat food.  The sale on it ends int 4 days.  We stopped at the gas station on the way to the post office.  We driven all of 2500 miles in the car in 3 months.  There was a recall notice for the Audi at the post office, but no package.  I asked about it at the desk and got embarrassed when I realized it was in the mailbox (I hope).

We stopped at HEB next for some much needed groceries.  Amazon can't supply everything.  The last stop was Circle C to make Abby a very happy dog.  She even got to play chase with another dog for a little while.  The new dog water bottle is nice, but the strap is lousy.  I'll have to do something about it.  I was really happy to find the Amain package in the mailbox when we stopped.

It was lunch time when we got home.  After lunch I opened the Amain package.  I had things to modify the Typhoon Grom and the TRX4.  I decided on the TRX 4.

I removed all of the electronics from the TRX4.  I replaced the motor and ESC with a Hobbywing Fusion and put a Flysky receiver in it.  Everything went smoothly.  The TRX is easy to work on.  It did take a lot of time though.  I set it up using the 12T pinion already in it and then decided to redo everything by putting a 11T in.  Switching receivers took some time, too.  All six channels are used.

I programmed up the ESC.  The rig runs well, but it's noisy.  Abby doesn't like it at all.  I didn't set the steering limits because I ran out of ambition.  Besides it was time to clean up and feed the animals.  

I watched videos until dinner time.  We had this shrimp and noodles thing that we got at HEB.  After dinner we gave Abby a bath.  She'd rolled in something at the park today.

The rest of the evening was videos and surfing.  The computer is still acting up.  It looks like a video or power supply problem.  I'm really confused.  I'm letting it run a virus scan tonight.
