Day 168

I didn't get to bed until almost 3 this morning.  I was finishing the second season of Justified.  I woke up at 8, but I felt I needed more than 6 hours of sleep.  So I went back to sleep and Ellen woke me up at 10.  We talked for awhile.  She didn't get in until 2 and stayed at a hotel last night.

After breakfast I worked on the layout.  I spent about three hours testing all of the low level track except the main line.  It all works.  I started to test the mainline and ran into problems.  I think it's mainly just oxidation, but I didn't feel like doing any more debugging, so I quit.

I went back to the house and ate lunch.  Then I surfed the afternoon away.  I also got a couple of squirrels.  I snuck up on the first one from behind the wisteria.  Unfortunately I shot it a little back from the heart.  It ran to the edge of the yard and suffered a little before I could shoot it again.  The second was super wary.  It ran halfway up the tree when it saw me moving in the living room.  I had to stand still for 5 minutes until it started eating again.

It climbed back onto the wooden feeder, so I went out to the gate and lined up on it.  When t popped up, it saw me and ran to the back fence.  It just sat there, so I shot it.  This was a good shot, in the heart.

The rest of the day and evening was spent surfing and watching TV (no Justified).
