Mods and sods is the title of a mission in GTA 1969. The mod is described hereunder and I’m the sod. There won’t be many more posts regarding R/C cars, mostly because I’ve nearly exhausted all my options. In any event, I removed the PCB from the Sneaker II because I didn’t like its performance [...]
Well, it was bound to happen. I have four of those cars previously mentioned: two trucks and two beetles. I had already modded one, and as long as Nora had two, I figured I could mod the other one, assuming I could make it work. It broke at some point in college. I disassembled it [...]
Monday is Caturday. Cats cats cats. So, this morning, I take all the trash out, and as I am leaving for work, Lisa spies a man going through our trash. Specifically, the used cat litter that I had placed outside. When I clean out the litter box, I put the used litter in an old [...]
Well, that didn’t take (too) long. It was a $2 mod, and now it runs twice as fast. I could’ve hidden the batteries, but I decided I like the ‘Back to the Future’ / ‘Ghostbusters’ look better. Head to the projects blog for more pictures and what not. Stock R/C versus Modified video: Get the [...]
Bless her heart, my poor wife has been dealing with my R/C fetish all week, and it all came to a head last night. Of course, I’ve been showing her all sorts of crazy R/Cs (AWD drifters, micro r/cs, 1:24 scale rockets, how I’m going to modify this that and the other thing) and Jaya [...]
It’s not really all that sordid; but it is about r/c cars. Feel free to skip. The whole revisiting my childhood with Nora has brought up some memories, that’s all. – Of the many things that Lisa suspects my childhood missed out on, R/C cars are not one of them. My parents, for whatever reason, [...]
It might be gauche to say, but I love Brad Pitt. Not just because of that interview, but because I’ve enjoyed every movie I’ve seen him in, most notably Fight Club. He can act, and he’s self deprecating, and did I mention he can act? A strong second would be George Clooney. O Brother, Where [...]
The vacation went better than expected. We didn’t have nearly enough time at the pool or at the beach – time flew with both. For the latter, there were one too many jellyfish swimming around to enjoy the water properly; though, Nora did finally work up the courage to jump in the waves with us. [...]
So, we’ll be going to the beach this weekend. I don’t know how it’ll work out – hopefully well. My sister is tagging along, which seemed like a good idea six months ago but now not so much for a myriad of reasons. Not all of them being just her, mind you. This month as [...]
I dimly remember yesterday being hot. Outside of a few isolated events, I barely remember yesterday. The difficulty is that most of the last two and a half years were like that. People (as in, older people with kids) kept telling me that once you have a child, your life moves in fast forward until [...]
