I woke up about 7:30, played games for a little while, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. Then it was off to do the wash.
It was a standard wash activity. I sat and surfed while Ellen did the wash. We went home when it was done.
I decided that I would price out building another scx30 out of spare parts. I priced out what buying another car and dressing it up would cost. Then I priced out building one from parts acquired from Amazon and Aliexpress. The result was a little surprising.
The "mod a purchased car" came out to be $173. The "build it from scratch" came out to be $203. The mod car would have a weaker motor and the scratch car would have much improved axles. I decided to order the parts for a scratch car. The whole effort took from the time I got home from the laundry until it was time to go to bed. I'm sure that the scratch car will come out costing a little more since I probably forgot something. I don't care.
