Day 196

The day started out with what I thought was a disaster.  The LG tablet wouldn't charge.  I tried several different cables and power supplies.  No luck.  I spent quite some time on the web learning that fixing it myself wasn't an option.  To save the game I even signed up for Facebook.  As I gave up, Ellen found an official LG USB cable.  It worked even with a Samsung power supply.

It was an estate sale day.  There were only a couple of sales in the city, so I expected the one I went to to be crowded.  It wasn't really.  I went looking for a soldering iron I saw on the web.  It was crappy.  I did pick up a Fluke meter for $20 and a heavy extension cord for $6.  I won't know if the meter works until I get a battery for it.

The next stop was the grocery store.  After that we ran the dog.  She hadn't run in three days and really wanted to.  It was 80 degrees and sunny though, so she didn't run a whole lot.  We then stopped at the post office.

We were going to stop at the Italian place for lunch.  First we stopped at Tomlinson's for hamburgers.  We noticed that the restaurant across the lot was open, so we decided to eat there.  It was great.  We had good sandwiches, I had a good mixed drink, and Lucy got lots of hand me downs.  They had a really good key lime pie for dessert.

After that we went home.  It was too hot to work in the garage, so I started a Minion party.  Logging on to Facebook changes the game  It is now much easier to buy and sell things.  The prices (both ways) are also a lot lower.  I built my resources back up and then decided to become an arms merchant.  I was building up grenades and selling them 6 at a time for $1,100.  I was selling them as fast as I could make them.  I was also acquiring a lot of items to expand the storage also.  I learned that having high ranking Minions helps a lot towards getting items and even gold.  These changes have kind of rekindled my interest in the game.
