Day 197

I went to the gun show this morning.  Ellen went with me.  She stayed in the car with the dog.  I didn't see much that was really interesting.

Dripping Springs was having a BBQ contest and street fair.  We had to park a quarter mile up RR12 to go to it.  It was fun to walk through.  There were a lot of really elaborate BBQ's.  There were also a lot of the standard fair food booths.  Finally there were the standard booths selling hand made trinkets and representing local businesses.  It was hot by the time we left, a big change from the week's rain.

By the time we left southbound RR12 was backed up for at least a mile.  I had to go all the way to Fitzhugh Rd. before I could turn back towards 290.  It was a pain in the ass, especially since I wanted to buy a 9V battery.  I stopped at CVS.  Theirs were expensive and damaged.  I finally got some at McCoys.

When I got home I put a battery in the Fluke meter.  It worked.  So I ordered some leads for it and some other stuff from Amazon.  It was too hot to do anything outside, so I played Minions and read for most of the evening.
