Day 350

We got up this morning when the alarm went off.  I did a little Minions and then got up to do the pet stuff and have breakfast.  There was an estate sale in Dripping Springs that I really wanted to go to.  It started at 9, so we left about 8:45.

The sale was about 14 miles on the other side of Dripping Springs.  The house was expensive, on 41 acres of land.  There was a nice shop, full of nice tools.  I didn't need any.  I went there for two weed eaters.  One electric, and the other a wheeled gas one.  The electric one was $30 because it was missing a part.  I plugged it in to make sure it worked.  They wanted $200 for the wheeled one, which was way too much.  I bought the electric one and a $3 bag of Legos for Martha.

We went back to Dripping Springs and ran the dog.  She only did about 5 or 6 retrieves.  It was a little hot, and I think she was tired from yesterday.  We sat in the park for awhile, and then went to lunch.  We went to this cafe/bakery we'd never been to before.  It was good.

On the way home we stopped at the mower repair place to get the part for the weed eater.  They had it, but it didn't fit.  I wish it had, it was only $5.  Instead I ended up buying a whole new head for $40 - $10 more than I paid for the weed eater.  It's worth it though.  The old one is wearing out, and they don't make these electric ones anymore.

After a stop at the post office we went home.  I couldn't do any masonry because it might rain.  So I installed the antenna I got for the stereo I'm putting in the apartment kitchen.  It worked great, but I was hot and sweaty when finished.  The AC worked fine, but it was hot up by the ceiling where I was working.

I went back into the house and took a shower after playing Minions for awhile and taking the dog to the mailbox.

The evening was listening to a guy named Ben Shapiro on the web.  He's this conservative speaker that really hates liberals.

I also called Mom.  Hooch want's me to call her to keep her busy.  They are up in Seattle where Martha's mother is in the hospital.  It doesn't look like she'll live very much longer.  Cancer sucks.
