Day 181

I forgot to mention yesterday that I shot squirrel #2 in the morning. I thought that would be the end of it, but the bird feeder was opened again this morning. I guess I'm facing a full scale war on squirrels.

I couldn't spray because of the wind and rain, so today was a soldering day. The soldering iron that wouldn't work yesterday worked fine today. I soldered up a whole lot of wires. Then I ate lunch and took a nap.

When I woke up I decided to go install the feeders with some left over. There were enough to finish the layout. Of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone. I started installing the spares. This caused me to identify some additional places where over-engineering indicated I should install some. So it was back to solder up another 13 pairs of wires. I think that that will do it.

I won one auction today - a flat car. I wanted to get in on several others, but they were all too expensive. I had a chance on one, but ebay screwed me over. It was displaying the wrong end time and the auction ended before I could bid. Today is my self imposed "last order day". That way I'm sure to get what I've ordered before we leave.
