If You Didn't Do Anything RC Related, What Did You Do, Today?

We had a family day of just hanging out. Went for an awesome breakfast, played with the boy, had a nice meal and watched a movie with the wife.

We watched The Housemaid, it was pretty good! The cast is easy on the eyes too, so that doesn't hurt the film at all!

I give it The Creepy Salute

Yesterday my wife and I took our youngest to a teen volunteer meeting at the zoo. She's going to start volunteering this year
After a lunch, we got to walk around the zoo.
Then, we got to go inside the rhino exhibit and pet the rhinos
It was awesome
Y'all, those things are huge!

Great experience for your daughter, and just pretty cool all the way around.

Installed a hand crank winch on my ATV trailer.

I had a monster crank wench on the passenger's side seat of my Blazer for a while.

I'm thinking the transition between my trailer ramps and the trailer is too steep so instead of driving the mower up and breaking something
I decided to install a hand crank and pull it up slow to be safe.

Wet dreary day, today. So, I went shopping. Went to Lowes first and grabbed lime, lawn fertilizer, and mulch. Will be putting that stuff down this week. Then went to a large regional discount chain store and found a bunch of gardening stuff. Finally, finished up at Walmart.
Got home and unloaded everything, hit the treadmill, and now at MIL house waiting on a meatloaf dinner.

Wonderful fish and tanks fellas

Hit our muskie/bass lake today for the first time since opening with my 11 year old son. Sure do miss fishing over the fall/winter.

It was super cool. A few weeks ago we went to a homeschool zoo class, and got to go into the Otters exhibit. It was similar, except we couldn't touch them. The kids did get to interact with them with a ball on the end of the stick. That's how the keepers training the various animals

Drove up and picked up my new to me mower.

Riding mower was the wise choice.

You convicts have great ideas for some fun.

We would also accept "idiots" in place of "convicts".

I charged the battery, fired right up and purrs like a kitten. I am more than thrilled.

I simply cannot see or think about a Rhino without seeing that image in my head, ever since seeing that movie

Smart move. When my dad had his small engine shop we had a few loadings that looked safe, then somehow turned scary. He eventually went to an electric winch setup that made it a lot easier to control things.

What motor is on your new rider?
