We started by going up to Fry's to get an optical cable. It's 30 miles one way. We ended up going to the Harbor Freight next door first. I bought a bunch of miscellaneous tools that I needed.
When we got to Fry's we bought the cable, a USB dongle, a soldering iron, and some cell phone chargers. All of it was much cheaper than we could have gotten anywhere else. We also looked at TV's. They have the one we want at a good price. Unfortunately the price isn't so good after giving the state $200. I think we'll order it online.
I was supposed to pick up the washer in the afternoon. The seller backed out. The guy with the table saw didn't call either.
More painting. Ellen in the bathroom. I put the second coat on the shelves and painted the table we bought. It will definitely need a second coat. Then I put all of the tools that I bought away.
I went to the house and finished pulling the wires. Then Ellen helped me put the TV back on the wall. We spent an hour or more setting up the pre-amp again. I even managed to make the trigger work for the new amplifiers. The bad part was that one of the HDMI cables was bad. That will only be a problem if we get HD satellite.
We ate our first dinner in the house - frozen pizza. After-wards we found out that the dishwasher won't turn on. I hope the home warranty covers that at least.
After everything was finally set up, we watched a blu-ray version of the latest Star Trek movie. I'd already seen it, so I left once I was sure the sound system was set up.
