Well.. it's not the 60° F you want...

But we did just get some cloud bursts pop up here in central Oklahoma... so maybe it'll cool things a little.

Yea, I got just the outside of that storm. Just enough to completely screw up the dust on the cars....

I got a few parts laying around for the 180cfx. Plus a whole assembled frame, which needs some repaires to make flyable.

Thank you my man, I may hit you up for some if I get to the point of not being able to fly it. For now, I have a little stock pile of both stock and upgrades. Ill fly it as long as I can.

I would need to inventory my stash. I recall ordering a bunch of stuff that was easily broken. Skids, tail boom main gears. Ill go and see what i got.

I'm pretty sure this office overhaul is going to kill me lmao.

Finally got my desk put back together and my computer and monitors plugged in. This is worse than working on a car trying to run these wires.... But, I have some tunes now, so that's a bonus. For another hour and a half only though. Friggin peak energy times.

At work wishing I was home

The weekend will be here soon enough URI .

YES, only 8 more work hours. Got kids this weekend. So it should be fun.

I passed out after being awake for far too many hours. Ah well, at least now I get my schedule back on track, kind of lol.

Oh yea, doing some 3D printing for a "Customer". If he wants to talk about it, I will let him, but for now, use your imagination lmao.

Life Lesson: If you slice up jalapenos and serrano peppers, be sure to wash your hands before wiping your eyes. Not as bad as OC spray, but definitely put a tingle in the ole spherical organ....

I'm told that isn't the only organ you don't want to touch after messing with peppers... LMAO

You are correct about that. I chopped up some spicy bell peppers (a little hotter than a typical jalapeno pepper) and had to pay rent. Yea.... Not a good time for a while.

Installed the new 6 core 12 thread xeon in my desktop computer... Cinebench score of 1501 completely stock. Lets see if we can raise that up a bit.

Alright well.... I did a quick and dirty OC on this Xeon from 3.06 to 3.99 (4.00 as far as I'm concerned lmao) and she is stable. The first run was with my stock fan curve on my radiator which only kicks the fans up when core 1 (core 0 to some) hits 70c. It was right there at 70-72 the whole time Cinebench was running. I ended up getting a score of 1773 on that run. So I cranked up the fans on the radiator, waited for the water to cool back down and rand it again. This time I got a 1782. Not too bad for a $30 chip lol. I do think I'm going to remove the OC though and let it run at stock speeds just to see how it does. If it does what I need it to do, great! If not, I know i can get 4.3+ out of this chip! Some people are getting 4.6, but you are really having to push the voltages on that one.

Speaking of that, my voltage was 1.3 on this OC. Not too high, but the idle temps are about 45-50c depending on what I'm doing. Little high for my liking. Oh, and that second test where I got the 1773, the max temp was 67. This is WAY lower than the 960 that liked to run in the upper 80's, and I will cover that in the live stream here in about 30 minutes or so.

soap doesn't cut pepper oils. You will need to wash your hands many times before you can touch your eyes. Don't ask.how I know.

So..... I just found the missing satellite radio antenna in the most unlikely place ever. I have 0 idea how it got to it's location from falling STRAIGHT DOWN!!!!!!!!!

Went to the field yesterday and put another flight on the 700 and ran some acks through the 550 and the 450. Im able to get almost 5 mins with my sports flying on the Gens ace in the 700.
I had a tip over with the 450 going to cost me some links and servo gears.. Thats the problem with the smaller ones ...grass is high and things are a little more fiddly on the them, and they dont take any contact well.

Ha, I just noticed my comments about my 450 sound like a description of my mother in law LOL Fiddly an doesn't take contact well.
