Day 61

I made a concerted effort to get up earlier today.  We made it by 9:30.

After breakfast I decided to actually start to put the signal tower that's been on the kitchen table together.  It went together better than I thought.  I did about half of it and then needed to stop to let it dry.  So I decided to go to Sears to get a replacement socket wrench for the one I bought last Friday.  The process was simple.  They had a group of used replacement ones and they just gave me one.

After that we went to Zilker.  The dog did a whole lot of retrieves and then we walked across the street to look at the Ferris wheel that the had set up.  The sign said it cost $6 to ride.  No way.  Then we walked over to Barton Springs.  The snack bar and train were open.  So we ate lunch there.  It was expensive, but that is to be expected.

We drove home down 1st St just to look at it.  It seems to me that there are more roach coaches there than last year.

When we got home I decided to try to find a place to replace the garage window.  It was a pain.  All of the glass places are in north Austin.  I finally found a place that said they'd come out tomorrow.  I didn't ask how much it would cost.

The rest of the day was mainly surfing and football.  I did try to remove the lights from the string we bought.  The package said you could, don't believe it.  Maybe we'll try to string things tomorrow.
