Day 59

I took down the solar light in the front because it wasn't working.  I thought it might be the battery.  I opened it up.  It uses a pack of C cells.  I won't be fixing that.  So it was off to Harbor Freight for another.

We stopped at Hobby Lobby first.  They had a lot of cool scientific toys.  Unfortunately I don't think the nieces would be interested in any of them.  I bought a model of Da Vinci's catapult, though.  It was 25% off.

I bought a new light at Harbor Freight.  I also got a torque wrench and some rope.  I actually spent way less than 50% of the list price for everything. 

After that we went to HEB's yuppie grocery store.  We bought a lot of produce and nothing else.  On the way back we bought a bottle of Bailey's that was on sale at the liquor store.

The final stop was Circle C.  First to pur the trailer title in the safe deposit box and then to run the dog.  She had a good time.  The wind was behind me so she did some long retrieves.  It was too muggy to walk around the park.

When I got home I decided to test the old light with the new solar cell in case that what's wrong.  The old light is a lot higher quality than the new one.  After that I built the catapult.  I'll wait until tomorrow when the glue is dry to try it out.

The guy from the website emailed me saying he won't give me the password.  I replied asking him what ESP I might sign up for that would satisfy me.  I'm pretty frustrated.  The whole thing seems stupid.
