Day 25

We're home.  The drive up was OK except for the intersection of 1604 and I35.  The northbound exit was closed.  The detour was badly marked, but we made it through.

Of course the pump didn't work when we got back.  The switch wouldn't close, so I turned off the power and messed with it.  Eventually I got it to close.  The pump still didn't work.  It blew the circuit breaker at the top of the well.  Fortunately I spent $150 last year to learn about that.  I reset it and everything seems to work now.

The AC isn't working very good either.  I'll probably call someone out tomorrow to deal with it.  The car battery was dead.  I guess it wasn't like the other one which really turned off when you turned it off.  I've had the battery charger on it since about 1:00 and it still isn't charged.  One of the railroad ties that braces the dirt by the garage ramp came apart.  It was filled with ants.  Since it's the lowest one, the fix is probably a rebuild.  That seems to be the total extent of the fixit problems.

The place is overgrown.  It's going to take days to get it all cut.  Surprisingly the plant on the deck didn't grow near as much as it has in the other years.

All in all we spent 4 hours unloading the trailer.  It's amazing how much stuff we brought down.  It's all in the house now, but it will be awhile before it is all put away.  After that I was plain tired.  I collapsed in a chair for about an hour and then we went to an early dinner.  A stop at HEB for some items and then home to watch Monday night football.
