Day 70

The doctor called us early this morning.  The test results weren't back.  We're supposed to come in tomorrow at 8.

When I got up there was a squirrel raiding the bird feeder again.  When I went out to get him he was hanging off the far side of the feeder.  That gave me time to set up.  When he got back on top of the feeder I nailed him.  Keeping the barrel off the fence did the trick.  Afterwards I let the dog out.  She totally ignored the squirrel even though at one point she was within 2 feet of it.

A little later three deer showed up.  I let Lucy out.  She didn't really even chase them.  She just ran out to the feeders as they ran away.  About 15 minutes later it happened again.  I guess the deer were hungry.

I saw an estate sale ad with an interesting item in it, so we went t see it.  It was on 2222, so we planned to go home on 360 to see the tree decorations.  Unfortunately the things I wanted were sold when we got there.  The trip back on 360 was cool though.  There were a whole lot of decorated trees.  Some of them were really elaborate.  One had been changed into a Santa.

We ate lunch at the Northwest bar so Lucy could eat with us.  It was OK.  The beer was cheap because they declared it was happy hour.  After that we went to the park.  I didn't think Lucy would want to go after all her work yesterday, but she did.  She did an impressive number of retrieves, but pooped out before usual.

When we got home I worked on the train.  I got the last four sets of track switch wires connected.  I also sorted out how I'm going to connect the main line wires.  That's the next step.  The final step will be connecting all of the other power wires to ATX connectors.  Then the wiring for the layout will be done.  Of course i still have to do the control panel wiring.

The evening is going to be football.
