We actually got up at a fairly decent hour today, about 8. After breakfast I did some surfing and Ellen did some Christmas cards. Then we went out to do some estate saleing.
We only went to one place. I scored some stuff though. I got a whole bunch of square aluminum tubing and some aluminum angle iron. At Home Depot or Lowe's it would have cost at least $50. I got it for $7. I also got a bunch of wire staples for a quarter.
We had to drive back on I35 because there was an accident on the Mopac. Luckily I heard about it on the radio at the sale. I35 wasn't too bad except for one slow down about the university. We stopped at Wally World so I could get my pills. We also stopped at Home Depot and Lowe's to get light bulbs. They are getting hard to find, so I bought 4.
When we got home Ellen dropped one of the light bulb packages on the floor. Scratch two light bulbs. I used one of the others to fix the light. Then I took the Star Trek ornaments to the garage and shaved the bases down so they would fit in the light string. They work fine there. I also planned out how to use the aluminum I bought to make a new holder for the cart. Unfortunately I have nothing to cut the material. I discovered on the net that I can buy a 10" abrasive blade for the miter saw. It makes it a big Dremel tool. I'll buy one of those.
While I was doing that Ellen made bacon wrapped shrimp for dinner. They were really, really, good.
I spent the evening surfing and watching Gold Rush.
