Woke up to overcast skies at some ridiculous hour for me (7AM). Hopefully that bad habit won’t continue. The trailer was the warmest it had been overnight and the heating didn’t kick in at all. All sounds a bit contradictory to the title, but as the day wore on it struggled to get above 20°C! It was also much windier than usual, but it remained dry.
This morning we just hung around the trailer doing odd jobs, it was a bit too windy to do any spray painting today. I finally got around to doing some work on the quadcopter; one of the engine mountings needed a little TLC (glue) after a “wobbly” landing, and there was also a software update available for the flight computer. This software update then required a change in programming to the transmitter. Once that was all completed it was still too windy to do any test flying unfortunately.
After lunch we headed out to the town of Maricopa, about 25 miles NW of here. The primary reason was to get some antenna cable from Radio Shack. The price was ridiculously low, no wonder they filed for bankruptcy protection.
While we were there we also did some geocaching, we got 7 for 7 (they really don’t hide them too well down here!) which took me past the 300 mark.
