Day 351

I got up when the alarm went off today because I couldn't sleep anymore.  I played a little Minions and then got up.  After that it was pet stuff and breakfast.  I surfed and Minioned for awhile.  Then we left for Dripping Springs.

There was a gun show there today.  I went inside and Ellen stayed in the car with the dog.  The show was normal, except there seemed to be a lot of nice older guns.  I just didn't feel like buying anything.

After the show we stopped at a pizza place and got some lunch to go.  We went over to the park to eat it.  We couldn't run the dog because all of the soccer fields were being used.  We figured someone would get upset if they saw her off lead.

When we got home it was ugly, very hot and humid.  It was like a sauna.  We went inside and I surfed for awhile.  About 3 I went to the garage to see if I could find some of the Sony surround sound speakers.  The speakers that I had got at Goodwill sounded so bad that it was better not to have the radio on.  I found them in the box in the attic.

The project expanded from there.  First I fond the speakers.  Then I built a shelf for the subwoofer and attached it to the wall then I mounted three speakers (left, center, right) to the wall.  The result sounds great, but it took 2 and a half hours to do.  A lot of the work involved working in the garage, or near the ceiling, so I was soaked with sweat when I was done.

It rained hard for about 20 minutes while I was working.  It sounded loud in that metal building.  The storm dumped about an inch of rain.

It was dry by the time I was done.  I went back to the house and took a shower.

The evening was a little Minions, TV, and a couple of movies.  We also watched a couple of shows that had been taped earlier.
