I need new lenses for my camera... Oh, and I need a new camera as well... The ole XSi is just getting tired and even though those lenses work great , they are loud as hell when autofocusing when shooting video. More money, so it will probably never happen...

Today? I threatened my company that I would drive their truck off a cliff if I didn't go home and stay gone until Monday... I'm currently sitting on my bed... I HATE truck driving...

Yup, been doing this crap since 2001 and I'm just flat tired of it. Sure wish this site made enough so I wouldn't have to do it anymore...

Yup, that is how RCH came about. Trucking, I do it because right now, I have to. Unfortunately.

Today I taught Jacob how to shoot, ok it's only an airgun but judging from this effort this is another thing he will be doing better than me before too long.

With good fundamentals anyone can shoot awesome. Good bone support, sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control and breathing. Bulleseye

Went to Harbor freight to get a clamping amp meter. Spent about $40 on it , got home and found out its AC only. Facepalm.

I managed to drain a 3300 6s pack to nominal in about 3 minutes or so. I still don't know what amperage I am drawing. I believe my packs are at around 22.6 volts as of this afternoon. Resistors hit the upper 160s to lower 170s F during the discharge.

I know when I hooked up the load bank to my power supply at 12v I hit 19 amps. With a steady temp around the 130s.

I really need to get the current hall effect sensor for my arduino.

The other day, I noticed the screen on my smartphone was starting to seperate from the main body. Found out it was the battery swelling and luckily it was still in warranty. I got the replacement phone today and so far it's been afternoon of reloading apps...

No... not a Note 7.... it's a Moto Play 2...

... like any lipo or other lithium battery, sometimes they just puff out... no matter what quality battery they pick.

The resistance continues.


Discovering that the arduino does not like to take a steady voltage reading. Not sure how that's possible since a battery gives a fairly steady voltage. I think I may need to add.some capacitors to the circuit to help level out the jumping some.
