Andy got enough shelves to at least hold his tools. We’re waiting for one more (on order) to house all his material.

More efficient the second time around…?
I like this stack Andy made just inside his sliding door. All the most used stuff perfectly accessible.
An ant lion!
Sophie and I were trying to get good pics of this while we were helping Andy. You may remember I posted about ant lions a while ago. We could see their little funnels in the dirt and you see them trying to flick sand at ants to suck them in. We never actually saw them though.
Well, we found this guy flittering around our garage area. When we looked up what it was, we discovered his identity! Pretty cool. The wing detail is amazing.
Nice to be able to see it open again.
It will be nice when they can open it for shooting soon. Looking forward to it!

I love having a wife that takes such good care of me❣️
A few of the hard boiled eggs crack when she does them 36 at a time. So she put them all together and labeled it so I wouldn’t miss them. I love her!
More off-road RC fun
Chris and i crawled rocks (upper left), and even landed on each other (upper right)! I added some weighted steering knuckles (lower left) to give me a little more stability (lower right)

Rock climbing with my new rig
The upgrades have already started… I bought bigger wheels and a lift kit. I got to test it in our rock garden out front (upper left). It’s fun to see the details in the stickers and the tires (lower right). They’ve even licensed the tire brands, Maxxis Sticky Trepadors. I got to run with Chris’ off-road wrecker at the Oakes Quarry Park (upper right and lower left). It’s really fun to see what you can do with these little guys, and also to try and get cool, scale rock krawling pics. I just need to add some better shocks and a little weight down low, and I should be all set. At least you measure these upgrades in twenty dollar bills instead of thousand dollar ones! Hahahaha.
Andy and me starting the process of moving back in
First we had to sort his stuff onto groups by priority. Must have, like to have, probably don’t need. It made for an impressive mess of red stuff in the garage 🤪
I drove my Jeep to buy another Jeep
Julie got me an RC Jeep for my birthday. My nephews and brother in-law have a been placing with these 24 scale rigs for a while and I decided it looked like enough fun that I should try. It’s early for a birthday gift, but as we were searching up what to order, we realized the local hobby shops carried them. I was scheduled to hang out with Chris the next day at the quarry so we decided I should have one for that trip. I thought I was selling jeeps, not buying more…
We caught Andy mid-wave
He was off to work for the day last week and headed past our place first thing. It was fun to have him honking and waving as he drove past.
Want a $600 turtle?!
This little diamondback terrapin is $600 at the local aquarium store. He’s cute, but that’s crazy!
