if i could quit talking i would stop biting it.
i usually put hydrogen peroxide on them. that usually takes care of it in a few hours. but i didn't do that this morning cause it wasn't bad enough to worry about, and now I'm at work and don't have hydrogen peroxide. so I'm hosed for the next 5 hours.

Go get a camera so you can document the work-related injury. Film this and post it here later so it will be on file so we can heckl...errr protectle your best intrests.
Get a 1st aid kit.
Biggest one in shop is usually most expensive.
Go to bathroom.
Blockade doors with 'Police line!!! DO NOT CROSS' tape so everyone will know something is up!!!
Clear the room!
Simple but ULTRA important to be sure someone isn:t dropping duece while you are performing surgery in the next stall!
Once the room has been cleared, deploy any room freshenes now.
NEVER BEFORE!!!
They wrecked the place, they can smell it!
Go to the mirror... verify the camera is running...
Wrap your tongue in gauze and tape. Then ace bandage an ice pack to the side of your head and go see the boss!!! Get at LEAST a paid afternoon off for your auffering!
There's no way around it!

Maybe hit the store for some asprin then. I have had luck calming the nerves in a toothache by jamming asprin mixed like a paste with water in the area.
Maybe try chomping on an asprin to see if it gets the nerve calmed at least.
You could just press your sore on the tablet.
Yumm!
I bet it helps tho.

They updated the upper control arm on my sk chassis and i don’t know if I should replace them to the updated version or not. Didn’t even realize until yesterday.

Why did they update them? Do they go faster?
If they are fancy or make you happy, go for it but keep the old set up just in case you don't like the changes.

They made the edges thicker to make them more "durable" but I actually prefer the original ones. Problem is they don't make the original ones anymore now that they switched.

Run the new design, hide the old style away until they are ultra rare. Then trade them for a new RC!

Haha, I suppose I can buy the new ones. I don't hate them, it just sucks to spend more money lol.

My evening rant, Jenny's RC hardware packs do NOT include everything hardware wise from the car. Yes I know some hardware are sold in different packs like sway bar and hinge pin hardware is sold with the plastics kit per say but ideally I should have more plastic spacers for the front uppers for my typhon and I didn't see any correct stub axle/wheel hex grub screws and front upper hinge screw pins. Hence why I'm trying to source out the OEM hardware myself and pay the price. That hardware pack was 17 bucks id expect to get everything for the car with it. Oh yea didn't see any shock standoffs too. As they were advertised with them in there. Hmmm...

Cause I was building up my typhon via exploded views and the interactable exploded view of the car off of Arrma's site... I mean I ordered this like the beginning of the month too late to do anything now.

Not ranting about Jenny's directly they're still a great business for parts for cheap for people who are broke like me.

Edit the wheel hex grub screw is actually sold with the wheel hexes on their site my bad...

If you feel like theres a mistake, I'm sure Jennys will help. They have been very helpful in the past for me.

Or it could always be me and myself because I have like 10 spares of chassis braces and several other parts extra lol.

I have NEVER had too many spares! Ever!

I over calculated what I needed

You have it wrong... you have JUST enough chassis to finish all your dream builds... now get to work!

Some dumbass hit a light pole near here, so now we are without power. They're saying another 3 hours before it's restored. It wouldn't be so bad if not for the heat, and me having to be in a recliner. It's powered, so now I can't use it. I have a backup power supply, but for whatever reason, it runs itself dead in no time just powering its fans, lights, and ridiculous alarm that goes off when the power goes out. Lots of pain right now sitting in a different spot.

I hate power outages, especially in the summer, our last bad one happened when it was 110° outside and it lasted 18 hours had to pack the freezer with bags of ice. To keep everything from going bad.

Hopefully yours won't be too long. I know how miserable it is when you can't get comfortable. Not counting the heat.

Another reason why I hate zippers: Why do they bother painting them if it's just going to wear off after the first time you use it? It's ugly and makes no sense.

The estimated time came and went. Still no power. It went from saying it would be restored by 12:15am, then 2:30am, and now it is saying 8am. I'm miserable. This is ridiculous.

It turns out there is a major gas leak just a couple blocks from me. They shut the power down til they fix it.

Power outages in the heat of summer are the worst. My wife can't take the heat very well. I grew up on a farm and we didn't have AC so its nothing new to me. She decided we needed a backup plan so I got a multifuel generator big enough to run most of the house. Cost me around 3 Xmaxx's but at least the wife is happy. Power hasn't went out since.

Ever see the movie Mousehunt? For two solid months I've been trying to catch the little sob.
It must be the movie mouse's nephew.
He takes the bait out of the spring trap, he jumps over the sticky trap and he leaves his tiny droppings on the traps.
Smart little SOB.
