Oh boy, more wall troubles. I found out I don't have enough paint left over for 1 wall and the paint we originally used for the room is sold out everywhere or they just dont make it anymore. Instead of struggling to get someone to color match it, I decided to make the wall an accent wall and use a different color that will still make the room look nice. I was thinking maybe a light/medium gray as it would match the curtains in the room. I'm going to go get color sample strips over the weekend and go from there.

back from vacation. and that means back to work Monday. and I'm sure that's going to be chaos squared sense my boss took last week off as well. so i was gone for a week. then we were closed for a week. so I'm sure we'll be backlogged. i don't want to be backlogged, I'm to lazy for that.

Nothing kills a vacation vibe faster than the first 30 seconds back in the office.

Yes, I'm positive that it was nude cartoons that set Skynet and the terminator in motion.
Thank goodness they locked down chat gtp and AI before anything got out of control!

That's so unfair. KalonAI lets you, I had a lot of fun with when I had it.

They have a free tier. I paid for it when I had it so I could create videos. Sadly none of the videos I created are acceptable to post anywhere.

That sucks. What happened?

That sucks. What happened?

A seller didn't ship to me. Ebay says I waited to long to throw a fit.
The stuff was never shipped. Seller never showed a tracking number nor was it signed for or dropped off.
There is no time limit on scumbag sellers not doing the right thing.
No buyer protection availible? No need to pay ebay for buyer protection anymore I guess.

I have been a SOLID ebay customer for years. I very rarely have issues that need ebay involvement.
If they aren't going to fix this, I will.

I let the magic smoke out of a servo yesterday afternoon. A rock the size of a rice grain got stuck in the steering linkage of my RS4 causing the servo to jam at full right. 3 decades in the hobby and I've never physically smoked a servo before.

A couple searches on the google later and I learn this is a common occurrence on this car

I installed a makeshift pebble blocker by sticking some velcro (soft side) inside the poorly placed chassis cutouts directly under the steering linkage that allow the pebble to get stuck in the steering. This should deflect any future servo melters from getting in there. I ordered an Amazon servo as a replacement until I know for sure. There's also something special about using Amazon gear to beat guys who have thousands of dollars worth of cars and setup equipment...in a parking lot race.
