Day 272

I got out of bed as soon as the alarm went off.  After pet stuff and breakfast I was outside by 8:15.  I got oiut the implements of destruction and started moving gravel.  I moved 17 or so carts of gravel.  I started at the gate and covered back to the gate keypad.  It's working well, but I bet I need to buy more.

While I was raking the gravel out the guy across the street came out (it's garbage day).  We talked for awhile.  It turns out he does chainsaw carving.  He seemed like a nice enough guy.

I think the work would have gone a little easier if I had bothered to pump up the cart tires.  They are supposed to have 30 psi in them and all four had under 10.  The last thing I did before stopping was to pump them up.  I'll have to see what sort of difference it makes tomorrow.

I was done in about three hours.  Of course the next step was a shower.  Then I did a little Minions, surfing, and lunch.  About 1 we left to go to an estate sale.  It was north of 290 about half way to Dripping Springs.  It was pretty picked over by the time I got there and the prices were way too high.  Some used tools were priced higher than buying them new at Harbor Freight.

After that we went to Dripping Springs.  We stopped at HEB for a few things.  Then we ran the dog at the fields behind HEB.  She did 9 really long retrieves, which were as many as I wanted her to.  The last stop was Sonic for some half price drinks.

It was 102 when we got home.  The rest of the day and evening was surfing, Minions, and TV.
