I woke up at 7:30, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. Then I took Abby for a walk. We didn't get all that far before the AC installers called to say that they would be here in 15 minutes.
It actually took them much longer. Part of the problem was that they had been given the wrong trailer make. After a little prep they got right to work. The install took maybe an hour. There was a lot of banging on the roof. The AC has worked great the rest of the day. In fact we had to turn the thermostats up on both ACs. I even managed to reinstall the air diverter on the bedroom AC without any problem.
While the install was going on I used the remaining plastic boxes from yesterday to reorganize the drawer under the TV and the junk drawer in the corner. The transformation was great. It will be much easier to find and access things. There's even some spare space in the under-TV drawer now. The effort was so successful that I even put a small box in the medicine cabinet.
With the install done we decided to take Abby to the dog park. We stopped at Home Depot on the way to get guides for the pocket door. Abby had a great time at the park chasing birds and catching the Frisbee. I got in the rest of the two mile walk that I'd started this morning. When we were finished we went to a hamburger place across from Albertson's. We'd been there before.
When we got home I sat down for a video session which turned into a nap. I watched a video of a guy trying to make the DeWalt car I bought go 100 mph. He got it up to 70 before aerodynamics defeated him. I decided to try it, so I started pricing out parts. I just love doing that.
The effort took the rest of the afternoon and evening and I'm not done. A full bullet proof build would cost between $300 and $400. I'm going to start with the minimum and fix things if they break. That will be about $225. I'm spending $100 extra just to get a better motor/esc. We can afford it. Intel is back to $118 today.
