What did you do today?

[Gula]

Took the dog to the park with my onewheel; although I have a flat tire. (The new one hasn't arrived yet) . Stayed there for a good two hours before heading back home to dry the dog with the blower. Pulled out the kids crazy cart xl and sold it after showing the guy that it functions. Then I went to my LHS and ordered me some jconcepts monster truck tires, where I got sick to my stomach and threw up! A few days ago, I was "penetrated" by an insect on my knee, and am having a allergic reaction, to where I required antibiotics. I forgot to eat something and only had a coffee. Frank @ acehobby what a Great guy, checked up on me as I had to evacuate the building and my stomach of its little contents. Boooo, what a terrible feeling. Got texted by the woman to get eggs, so, I stopped by Costco and got a slice of pizza and the eggs. Went home to cuddle up to the dog and took a good 2-3 hour nap on her bed. Woke up and had the idea to take the incomplete halo 3 game my son had bought the day before and try to get the rest or a complete game with campaign. No luck because he didn't have a receipt anymore and there were no compleete games available for sale.

I finished up the install of my airbag compressor. I didn't like the clamp mounting so I ordered some threaded inserts to install in the frame. I also printed a pair of spacers as there's a random stud in the frame between the 2 mount points.

And after

Had to toss around 800 lbs of salt and sidewalk melt this am around the work complex.
We got about 1/4 inch of frozen rain/ice on Everything.
Now to see if I can get ahold of my buddy and pick up some 420. Getting low and that's a no no. lol

Finished off this dip that I bought yesterday.

Lost my marbles and dropped a TON on a H10 Optic RTR (saved $100 with the coupon posted in the forum - h104ws), SSD wheels, Aztec tires, Meus brass and aluminum stuff, and some more upgrades from eBay. It'll likely all arrive after Xmas - I told myself it's a reward for stopping vaping. I really need to quit as I turned 60 this year and also have recently found out that I have some new chronic health conditions...

I haven't run any of my existing rigs in ages - I moved to a new place and they haven't even been unpacked. I am a little closer to some crawl spots - I can actually walk to a nearby hike-and-bike along a creek. Hopefully this will get me outdoors again. Merry Xmas to me!

Will post up pics after I get it and swap all the parts over. I'll eventually upgrade the electronics - probably going to try my first Fusion setup. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Took kids to school after walking the dog,then bought a car, so, a long morning at dealership, later returned the wrong, and bought the right wiper blades for my Tundra and some long distance head light bulbs (H11) at walmart for the neighbors kid's car. This is payment for dropping me off to pickup my truck (26 miles each way + $7 bridge toll).

His headlights, on a 2015 crv, they may as well be off while driving, they were so dim i was actually afraid for a bit at first and asked if he had his lights on, and asked him to switch on his high beams so I could just quickly see. that and he's a 17 year old driving for a whole 3 months now. He did great though.

Took the opportunity while it was warmer today and pulled our travel trailer to the lemon lot, to sell it off. Detailed the inside of my truck a little bit, before the neighbor s kid got home and it started getting dark, so I quickly hit the lens with some 3M machine polish and worked my way up to
HD compound on a small portion, Turned out okay
the pictures don't do it justice!, ugh!

Lookin good! I did a headlight resto on an older Corolla once for a client, that stuff does wonders. Nice job!

I haven't polished a plastic headlight in a while but make sure you seal it afterwards or it can go back to yellowed pretty quick.

 

[durok]

I have to do my 2010 Honda Fit Sport headlights, they are terrible - Texas sun is insane!

I have a new grille to install after I do that - my current grill is flat pale gray from fading instead of shiny black.

Worse, I need to figure out if it's worth replacing all the weatherstripping on the outside of my windows - it's all cracking.

My girlfriend's mom has a CRV about the same age and those headlights are dangerously dim! I need to polish her headlights for her. Which products did you use exactly?

While not exactly "today"... Many are aware I just bought a house and have a huge shit-to-do list.

I banged out a BUNCH of it this week. Well, over 3.5 days actually. Might explain why I'm a bit sore and flat out exhausted.

Instead of opening a wall and making a passageway between the Master to neighboring bedroom. Wall was non-load bearing. Decision was made, Whole thing went bye bye. Previous owners had this massive 4'x4' landing with 18" wide stairs in the garage into the house. Yeah F that too, bye bye. Replaced the water heater, 2 GFCI plugs - One of which whoever installed it left the ******* terminals loose and it melted.. Cleaned out the gutters, fixed the gate latches. Unpacked a bazillion boxes from Amazon and stocked up the house. Made 4 dump runs to get rid of stuff left by PO and stuff we bought.

Tested ALL the Cat5E wiring ran in the house, shit is good for 1Gig speeds, so I got my small network build out in place (Unifi Express Console, Lite 8 switch, and 1 U6-LR Access Point), which allowed me to get 3 Eufy WiFi cameras up without issue. Removed the "Jail cell bars" required by law around the stairwell to the basement...

Dropped $27k on LVP flooring. We said F it again. We're doing 2325 sqft of the 2635sqft of the house with the new flooring (minus the Utility room).

Merry Christmas RCC fam!

Capra interior finally being modified for the GSpeed GShot rig. Passenger delete!

 

[Goro Majima]

Glue is drying. More test fitting, trimming, hand painting and decals. Definitely will be complete for the annual GSpeed NYD meet.

 

[Goro Majima]

Triple post. Tundra brought some Lumpia to the table...

 

[Speedy-Triple]

Back to the office today ... Wish all of you had a good break doing whatever you had and like to do... I had a great break with the my boys who ended up with some Arrma bash trucks that are still on a pretty good price on horizon...

ARRMA 1/10 GRANITE VOLTAGE 2WD RTR Brushed Monster Truck (Battery & Charger Included), Red/Blue | Horizon Hobby

ARRMA 1/10 GRANITE VOLTAGE 2WD Brushed Mega Monster Truck Ready to Run in Red/Blue

They are pretty good for what they are and fun for the kids that love to jump and rip ... We turned on our soldering iron and changed some plugs for the battery and esc to be able to use our 4 year old trusty traxxas lipo charger . The esc's on them are lipo capable so we were able to run the NIMH and the 2S lipos through them and as you know the kids knew instantly which battery they wanted to use. Hey at least the rest of the RC herd is safer now that these are part of the stable.

 

[Timmahh]

Had to work but it was a fairly lazy day. Bonerus.
Then I did this.

 

[Goro Majima]

Styrene all trimmed and glued. Patching a seam on the dash, to be sanded down tomorrow as well as hand painting and decals.

 

[Timmahh]

Today I started my Optic build.

 

[Goro Majima]

Here's the fully painted Capra interior (minus Lego head). Man, hand painting is a PITA lol. But this is finally done besides wanting to put some stickers on the dash. Maybe put a few other scale stuff on the floorboard. I've got the shifter set on the way from TFR.
