Finally got home at a time where it's all light, so gave the RC car a quick hoon around the backyard for the puppies. They love it so much. I feel bad they haven't had a go of it for ages.

Of course because the dogs made noise that was a trigger for everyone else to get rowdy too so next minute one neighbour has their bloody mower going, and the other one fires up his giant truck and starts maneuvering it around the yard so it's all rev rev beep beep beep rev rev beep for next 20 or so.

First world problems.

Old mate there looks like he is about too or just got yeeted by the RC car!? Hahaha

Ah yeah, he went for a little tumble. Luckily this Senton is the 3S plastic version they sell now and not the 6S metal parts version I used to have. It was significantly heavier and faster and had a little more yeet in its collisions.

Puppy didn't even notice I don't think. A little tumble and straight back in to the action.

Still happy to give cuddles on the lounge.

This is so cute. My Jack Russell sunk his teeth into my husband's back tyre rc car. It was outside for a whole minute.

I'm up to complete car number 4 or 5. Tyres are in the dozens somewhere. Car shells approaching double digits.

I kind of wish I had the interest (, knowledge, patience, and time) to repair the old ones cause I reckon they're all only a few minor parts away from being good again.

This way this cars first trip out... And it came back with two busted tyres.

Expensive hobby.

The car that the dog chomped was one that had big tyres and when you drive it you can flip it over and keep going in the direction it came. It was his favourite. Anyway from what I can remember a new tyre cost as much as a new car.

Cars and helicopters is what he's into and that's his only hobby. He gets to play with them outside when the dog's inside because the dog takes that sport very seriously.

I know my husband looks at a lot of YouTube videos if he needs to repair shit so maybe have a look at that.

That sounds amazing. The working from home part, not the carpet 😅
