Default Could it have been any worst

The pain started saturday night. I went out with the Slash and had a goodtime. Came home a noticed I losted my cellphone. Didnt bother to look for it because I was in snow in a remote area so it would of been pointly and my battery died so I couldnt call it. So sunday was getting the Revo ready to go out. Noticed one of the hexes on my Phatline wheels were badly stripped. No problem I have more wheels. Well I put the maximer beadlocks on. When I got to the last wheel I couldnt find the last hex nut. So after 45min of looking, I found it. IT was on my stock axles I replaced. Alright wheels on, gas in. So I check to make sure the failsafe is working. Good it is. Next I check the voltage of my radio. Nothing. No lights or sound or vibrating. I look down and notice I had left the radio on from the night before. Now I'm really mad. Then I remember I still have the Revo stock stick pack that fits in the 4pk perfect. Put the heat gun on the motor for 5minutes and go outside. Primed the tanks and one touch of the drill and the Revo its alive. I took it easy, riding around lightly, being very cafefully because I didnt waterproof anything. After about ten minutes on the first tank, I heard vibrating. Brought the Revo in, took off the body. Great, the screw that hold the gas tank on for the vantage chassis, wiggled out. Went and got a replacement but ran out of loctite putting it on the wheels.[:@] So now I'm in for a long day. Well I got some pic and some video and bash for about 2 hrs then the stupid screw that holds the servo saver came out and I lost steering. Thats when I called it quits. So I packed up and went home. Cleaned the Revo and check the pics out in the camera. Took the card out and put it into my computer. When the folder opened up, to my suprise, everything I took that day was gone. WTH does that happened. Thats summed up my weekend. Lost my phone, battery died, mutiple screws came out and my pics magically disappeared out my camera. Put the good thing I can report is my motor is stupid fast. The thing flys on 18/34. Its just too darty at hit speeds.I have to mess with the rear toe.
