Day 263

I'm not sure exactly when we got up, but we didn't hurry after the alarm went off.  When we did get up Taiko greeted me with a fine, large, hairball on the kitchen cowhide.  He could have moved 6 inches and it would have been on the tile.  I cleaned that up and did the rest of the morning stuff and breakfast.

I've decided that I should spend some time every morning doing something.  Today I went out and filled up the sprayer with vinegar and salt.  The salt was in a solid block that I had to break up.  I went out ant sprayed a gallon of solution on the weeds near the houise in the parking area.  We'll see how it goes.

It was 91 with 60% humidity when I got done.  So I took a shower.  Then I surfed and did some shopping until lunch.  Lucy REALLY wanted to go somewhere, so after lunch we left.  It was 100 out.  We went to the post office and ran Lucy at the soccer field.  She did 18 retrieves in the hot sun.  I was impressed.

We stopped at the snow cone place on the way back.  There was no one there when we got there, but there was a steady stream of people as we ate our snow cones. 

I had to get some more frozen stuff for dinner, so I went to HEB while Ellen stayed at the snow cone place with the dog.

When we got home we hid out from the heat.  The clouds kept gathering until it started to rain about 5.  So much for my weed killing experiment.  It didn't really rain hard or long, but apparently the storm was between the antenna and the satellite because the DirecTV went out.  So Ellen watched Netflix.

The evening was TV and surfing.
