Day 278

It was up when the alarm went off again this morning.  After the pets and breakfast I was moving gravel by 8:15.  I managed to cover about 5 feet before I ran out of white gravel.  The rest of what I had was colored or mixed.  I used it to fill in low spots .  I got all of the remaining gravel by 9:45.

Then I measured what I'd need to finish.  The original 7 yards covered 123 feet of the driveway.  I've got about 100 feet left to go.  Some of that requires an appreciable amount of fill.  I decided 10 yards should do the job and give me a good pile left over.

While I was taking a shower Ellen came in and announced her bag was leaking.  That sucks since we changed it yesterday afternoon.  We changed it again when I got out of the shower.  Then I ordered 10 more yards of gravel.  They will deliver it tomorrow afternoon.

Just after I did that Bob called.  He wanted to make sure that I'd gotten my membership bill.  I got it yesterday.  We talked quite awhile about the TCGC/TVSC problems.  Actually he talked and I listened.  I also asked him about how much Intel stock we should sell (its at a 5 year high).  He gave us three numbers based on how much we sell.  We'll get hit by AMT, so the rates will be as high as 26%.

After that it was almost 1.  We drove to the post office and Fireman's.  We went there because we had a coupon.  Of course Lucy wanted to go to the pet store next door.  She didn't plan on getting a bath, but she got one.  Now she's soft, fluffy, and smells like a French whore.

It was 101 when we got home.  So we spent the afternoon surfing.

The evening was TV and reading.
