Day 176

I couldn't get to sleep last night.  I finally dozed off after 2 AM.  I got up at 8 though, fed the animals, had breakfast, and was on the road by 9.

The traffic gods weren't with me today.  The GPS warned me that the road was blocked in Kyle near I35.  It routed me around the problem, but it was extra distance.  Later it warned me that I35 was blocked and it wanted me to go to Seguin.  I pulled of at an exit to verify that.  Sure enough it was.  So I turned left at New Braunfels, went east to Seguin, and then went in on I10.  That wasn't the end of it.  On the way home  there was a massive tie up that started south of Kyle.  The GPS routed me off I35 and onto a road that no longer exists (they are reconstructing things).  I just kept driving and eventually it routed me through some back roads to Driftwood.  I'm not sure I saved time, but I did see some new country and there wasn't as much aggravation.

I loaded a book on tape onto my Zen last night and listened to it during the trip.  It worked pretty well.

The show in San Antonio was about what I expected.  I didn't see anything I really wanted.  I did pick up a lower for a really good price and a 6.8 magazine.

I didn't get home until after 4.  Of course Lucy was really glad to see me.  I immediately took her out in the yard and threw the bumper.  She did almost 30 retrieves.  That's good considering it was sunny and in the high 70's.

The evening was spent reading with a little surfing.

All during the day I would do a little Minions.  I need to build a lot of long lead-time items with no speed up clock.  So every couple of hours I open the tablet and spend a few minutes scheduling things.  I'll probably do the same tomorrow.
