Day 3805

 I woke up at 5:30 and couldn't get back to sleep.  I played games for quite a while and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  I pretty much dedicated the morning to getting together an order of the RC stuff for the DeWalt.

Yesterday I'd made up a list of stuff to order from Tower Hobby.  It was about 10 items. I went through the order process, but it wouldn't take my coupon code.  After some confusion I found out that Tower doesn't mark things as out of stock.  They simply wouldn't count them as contributing to the discount requirements.  Screw Tower.

About then it was time to take Ellen to Dan's for church.  When I got back I switched to making up an Amain order that would take advantage of their Memorial Day sale.  Most of the items from Tower could be transferred.  A couple went to Amazon.  I decided to wait on 3 or 4.

As part of the order I was trying to decide between a $100 car from Amazon and one from Amain.  Then Amazon car had a couple of features that the Amain on did not.  The Amain on had the look I wanted.  I ended up even looking at Banggood for the Amain body.  After a lot of looking at part, etc I decided on the Amain car.

Unfortunately the Amain car wasn't eligible for the Memorial day sale because it was already on sale.  I ended up splitting the order.  Some of it went in on the Memorial day sale and the rest went in on a $15 off $150 sale.  I ended up making almost a net 10% off on everything.

I had lunch and took the dog to the park for Frisbee.  She was really happy.  Then I made up a bracket for the sliding door.  That involved cutting up one of the existing brackets, drilling holes, and screwing it to the existing bracket.  The result seems like it will work well.

Ellen called to say church was over, so I went to Dan's.  We talked the whole afternoon.  Patsy fixed BBQ for dinner.  A few of their friend came over also.  The food was great.

After dinner we talked for a while and then went home about 8.  I think that we were party poopers, but I was tired after the early wakeup.
