Day 146

There was thunder and rain for most of the night. We took the rugrat back to the airport today. It started to clear as we left. By the time we got back, there were large patches of blue in the sky. By the afternoon it was sunny and warm.

I converted the new golf cart that I got on Friday to the new rack. I threw the old one in the garbage. I also threw away the old battery charger that didn't work. It was old - we bought it at Montgomery Wards. I used the new charger to charge both the mower and sprayer batteries. I'll do some spraying when it dries out a little.

While Ellen weeded I took apart my old train layout. I removed all of the track except the switches and the power links. I also pulled up the track bed. It took hours.

In the evening I did e-bay. I lost out on some passenger cars and a switcher. I was a little disappointed about the cars, but the switcher was all right. Another person is listing repair parts for the one I have. They ran up the price on the locomotive that I wanted. So I bid on another identical one with another road name. I can get decals to change the name for $5. I won that auction, although I had to pay $57 when I really didn't want to go above $52. I did it by placing a bid in the last 30 seconds.

The Galaxy is pissing me off. Twice this evening it decided not to connect to the internet any more. Fortunately it kept going during the auction.
