Mamba Monster dead?

If only I had a list like that. Everything to be done is done. My condo is 850 sq. ft. and recently remodeled. I don't want to look at my rc's if not one of them is running. I do weekly backups of vital data and have a bi weekly tape rotation so one set is always in a fire proof safe. I have no kids to make a video of and don't think my wife would approve of me having any with her out of town. No need to reformat any of the pc's, I re-image them twice a year and July 20th is my next scheduled imaging day.

I never watch TV, hate that tube thing really, but it might just be the ticket if I'm not out throwing dirt around with brushless powered vehicles. I have many hours of Nat Geo on DVR and some comedy central stuff.

That's impressive! No matter how much I do, my to-do list just gets bigger.

I used to be more organized and kept on top of things much better, but having a couple of kids changed everything for me.

Maybe you just need to buy more R/Cs to increase the chances that one of them is always running.

I like the way you think! My wife does not :( 1 was allowed 2, pulled some strings, got 3, pulled some more stings got 4, out of strings.

"But Honey, think of all the money we're saving by not spending money on tobacco! This one vehicle could be the difference in me quitting and going back to that expensive habit. Essentially, this new *insert vehicle here* will save us money and help me live longer. If you don't let me buy this car, you're basically telling me that you don't love me anymore."

Or did you already use that for the 3rd vehicle?

I'm not a very good person.

Most people smoke a pack a day, so say 7-8packs a week. 3 bucks a pack makes about 25 bucks a week. So a year would be 1300 bucks. A fair chunk of change.

This is an interesting theory, I currently have about 10 working rcs and 30 or so projects. Some are rollers, some are boxes of parts, some are stock waiting to be welded up, and others are just ideas! I am on a 10th scale kick right now, so I will get 5 or 6 of them running and clean, then go back to finishing my MT selection. If I could spend 2-3 hours a day working on them, I could most likely finish it all in 6 months. Sadly I may get 8-10 hours a week, so it will take much longer! And I keep buying stuff...

I wish I could be more organized like you guys, my life is chaos, but that is ok for me!

You can send some this way. I'll build them drive them and break the for you then fix them and return as working. I could pull the "Honey, but they are not mine!"


thanks for the quitting smoking support guys. I have tried several times before with no luck, this time is different, i will not let myself have one. I will go curl up in a corner with the detox tremors for hours and just take it (nightly experience for the past 2 weeks)

TexasSP you are right, there is no last cigarette. and I will show my geekdom and quote my favorite movie character now. "Do or do not... there is no try."

I am choosing "Do" this time. Maybe no rc's this weekend is a good thing, I tend to smoke when I bash. lol.

Thanks for letting me slip though the cracks Castle! you may have just aided my efforts, but please, oh please do not do it again! A working MMM here by next weekend would be nice ;) I can only handle so much RC withdrawal along with nicotine withdrawal.

I regret to inform you all that my MMM just died.There was nothing anyone could do,it just died quietly .It will be sent back as soon as Castle contacts me.
