I'm getting to the age where you schedule colonoscopies. So it's time for a mid-life crisis purchase. The stereotypical sports car purchase doesn't make sense. I still have the sports car I bought before I could drink. So...race car?

I spent my teens competitively racing R/C cars with my dad. We took our old cars out to the track on his birthday a few years back. It reminded me how much fun it could be.

So, I hiked down to the local R/C track and bought everything I needed to race. Time to go hit the track again and have some fun.

What you're looking at is an Associated Electrics RC10B7D Team Kit. Built to ROAR spec standards. I still have some of the kit to needed to race. Like this red pit mat from the defunct R/C car race motor company Twister.

It does feel weird to be running an RC10. I used to be a Team Losi guy, not Associated Electrics. A very Ford/Chevy vibe there, but Losi seems to have ended their serious race program.

New stickers for the toolbox.

What are the odds that anyone behind me in the ski lift line recognizes these stickers?
I may not have been able to find a key for this old pachinko machine. But I can find one of these easily enough.

Taking my sister out skiing for her first time in twenty years. China Peak is a fun little hill. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Fresno area.
