So it’s been 2 weeks since I ordered my extremely sick 1/8th scale gas R/C Truggy. It finally arrived today in what appears to be perfect order. Of course it has to be broken in to be run etc etc etc. I believe I was told I needed to get 4 AA batteries to power the thing. Much to my suprise it clearly states on the box it requires 12 AA batteries. The gentleman at the hobby place gladly pointed to the 4 little AA battery graphics, while I pointed to the x12 that was written beside them.

He rests his case. On the way home, I decided it was time to check out Wal-Mart for some great deals on fast rechargeable batteries. I was comparing energizer and some other brands, when I realized this is probably going to be used for longer periods of time, so I shouldn’t cheap out. I picked up some sick Rayovac Hybrid batteries. 14 AA and 2 AAA as well as the charger set me back $47 and change. Not a bad deal. On my way to the self serve checkout (because ppl in Bolton like human interaction so much, they set up like 9 of those stations) I noticed a familiar face. It was the man, Tony Monaco himself. I always wondered if he was still as tall as the last time I’ve seen him. He didn’t opt to use the self checkout, altho it would have been much faster. After all he is a personable guy, he probably enjoyed chatting it up with the old lady behind the till.

Anyways, what drives a guy like Tony Monaco to Wal-Mart on a friday night at 11pm? Are we getting too busy during the week? Is he trying to remain incognito from the fans? I fear I might never find out…
