Day 175

We declared this a "get up later" day. I think it was a good idea. We spent a lazy morning ebaying and I did some soldering of track power leads. It's going a little faster/easier as I get more practice. I also painted the viaduct supports.

After lunch we went to get the mail and do a little shopping. My package wasn't there (later on when I got home the tracking information said that it was delivered at 1:30, a few minutes after we stopped at the Post Office).

We stopped at Kohl's so I could buy some pants. I found out Easter morning that the only pants I have in Texas are jeans. They wanted $72 for a pair of Dockers. I was going to leave, but Ellen found some Haggar's for $38. She also found a cool Hawaiian silk shirt for half price that I bought.

We left the dog at home because it was hot. She was whimpering on the couch when we left. So I stopped at PetSmart to get her a toy. They were clearing out Valentine's day toys for $1. So I bought 4.

After a grocery store stop we went home. Lucy really liked her toy. It took about ten minutes to destroy. I did some more soldering. I soldered up all of the connectors that I had. I'll have to install what I have to get new ones to keep soldering with. It was too hot to go out and do that.

Ebay was a bust. Everything went for more than I wanted to spend. The item I wanted the most went for $72. I only wanted to spend $55. Oh well, there's more stuff tomorrow. It's getting near the time I'll have to quit ordering things because of the trip.
