Day 3764

 I woke up at 8 and got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After a little surfing I left for the doctor.  I took Abby, but Ellen stayed home because of her asshole.

When I went out to start the car the dash lit up with a bunch of error messages saying that various system weren't working.  Of course everything went by too fast for me to read.  There was a bunch of icons rotating flashing all the way to the doctor's office.  The car started with no messages when I left the doctor.  However another message showed up briefly saying something about the systems didn't work and the error has been logged.  The only thing that I noticed was that the lights warning of an adjacent car on the mirrors don't work. 

There was a wait, but the actual doctor's visit was short.  My PSA is down to six.  He's happy and I guess I am, too.  I'd like to quit the drug though.

After the doctor I stopped at the pet store to get the rest of the cat food that we need for the trip.  I also made a stop at CVS.  They're going to have next month's Monjaro for me on Thursday.  Yeah.  I also stopped at HEB to get ant traps.  They have invaded the trailer.  The final stop was Circle C.  By then it was getting hot, but Abby still got in a good run.

When I got home I told Ellen to look up the lemon law again.  As near as we can figure we qualify.  She called her lawyer friend who is going to give us a referral to a lawyer that handles lemon law cases. 

 I watched videos and had lunch when I got home.  The videos got boring after a while and I decided to do more RC stuff.  The only thing I could think to do was clean up the wiring on the FCX24.  I rearranged the wiring for the front lights.  That allowed the cab to go on much easier.  Then I decided to replace the receiver with one of the mini ones.

I got out the one that needed soldering and tried to solder it.  I got all 12 pins soldered, but I dropped some solder on the SMT device and ruined it.  Crap.  I got out one of the soldered ones and used it instead.  I spent quite a bit of time trying to get it bound.  It was all operator error. 

Using the new receiver required me to rewire the light connection to the lights.  I decided to put in a magnetic connection at the same time.  As usual rewiring things was a pain in the ass and took a long time.  I got the wiring finished about 9 and left cleanup and final assembly until tomorrow.

Ellen fixed trout and rice for dinner.  It was good.  I did a little surfing after putting some of the RC stuff away and then went to bed.
