Day 160

I started a new Minions party today.  That I spent significant time on it before and after breakfast.  About 11 we left to go to the restaurant to see the pipes.  The dog had to stay at home.

It was raining when we left, and rained for about 45 minutes after we got there.  So we sat at a covered bar on the patio.  It had a good view of the stage.  The pipes were great.  Ellen even liked them.  After the pipes was a duo that played Irish tunes on a guitar and flute.  They were OK.  I played a lot of Minions and listened to the music.

We ate a lot of food.  We had lunch, dessert, and later chips and salsa.  It was all really good.  I had 2 glasses of Guinness and an Irish whiskey.  Ellen had lemonade.  The whole bill came to less than $60.  I was impressed.

I expected that Ellen would have to drive home, but I wasn't drunk.  Ellen said it was because we ate so much and sat there so long.  We stopped at the post office on the way home.  I decided not to stop at the second place to get a Guinness glass.

We were tired when we got home. I did more Minions and surfed.  Lee called in the morning and wanted me to put his garbage cans back.  When I went to get the mail the garbage men hadn't picked up the cans on the circle.  They did pick them up on the road.  I'll leave it until tomorrow.

One note about Minions.  I expected to run a 2X party all day.  When I got to the restaurant there was an update available, so I did the update.  When it was finished the party was changed to a non-2X choice.  I was pissed.  The update added a whole lot of new things with no explanation of how they worked.  I have most of it worked out, but not all.  Because there's no 2X, it will be most of tomorrow before I have things built so I can figure the rest out.

In the evening it was surfing, TV, and Minions.
