The Paint didn't match!

Friday I had coffee at the vault with the church group, got a hair cut, got the mail, went to the 4-H garage sale at the church and then picked up the robotics stuff from the county extension office to check it out.  As I was coming out with the last load of stuff I met Pattie McVey and her sister Sally.  I hadn't seen them for a long time so after putting the stuff in the car I went back to the garage sale to visit with them.  It has probably been forty or more years since I had seen Sally so that was fun.  When I put the landing gear fairings on, the paint match was terrible so after I unloaded the robotics stuff we headed to town for more paint.  Our first stop was Evergreen Paint, I had a piece of the covering with me and they said they could mix paint to match so I had them do it.  They needed a couple of hours to make the paint so we went to the Masthead Castaways again for lunch.  I had Fettuccine Alfredo with scrimp and Vera had their loaded baked potato and clam chowder.  Once again everything was great!  After that we did some shopping until the paint was done and then headed home.  After I wet sanded the parts all down I started looking for my air brush to do the painting.  Many hours later I gave up and ordered a new one from Amazon with expedited shipping so it will be here Monday.  I sure hope I don't stumble across the old one this weekend.

Well I didn't see anything of the air brush while I was in the shop today checking out the Lego NXT robotics stuff.  I downloaded the software for it and got the batteries charged enough to find out how they worked.  There was a whole bunch of built things in the first box and I spent a good part of the day taking them apart.  One looked almost complete so I made a mount for the controller and tried it out.  I put the controller in the Demo mode, hit enter and it took off, ran a little ways, turned around, came back, turned around again, then the screen displayed a message to push the orange button to run the motor connected to A.  I didn't have a motor connected there so I canceled the Demo.  Now I have to learn how to program it.  Messing with it was a good rainy day project.

While I was working on the Lego stuff Debbie sent me some pictures of Jordon playing with the Thomas the Train we got him for Easter on ramps they had just gotten for him.  He is so darn cute.
