Day 406

I woke up early in the morning because I was cold.  Lucy was lying right beside me taking all of the covers.  She had her feet in the air.  I shifted her over enough to get a partial covering and went back to sleep.

I woke up for good a little before the alarm.  I played a little Minions and did a lot of surfing.  I got up after about an hour and did the pet stuff and had breakfast.  Then I went out to finish the switch board.  I reconnected the ground wire to the negative post of one of the caps.  Then I built a DB25 with all of the pins shorted together.  When it's plugged into the cap connector, they are all connected to ground.  It's a kludge, but I'm tired of fucking with it.  After that I mounted the board on the layout.  I still have to reconnect all of the switch wires to it.

When that was done I did a little more surfing and had lunch.  Then it was errand time.  We ran the dog at Circle C.  She did 25 retrieves.  Then we went to the post office.  The next stop was Academy for a new pair of sandals.  I'd worn a hole in the sole of the current pair.  The last stop was Staples.  Ellen needed some printer ink.

When we got back Ellen's bag was leaking again.  I didn't exercise today because I had to change that.  Then it was surfing and Minions until dinner time.  Then more surfing and Minions until it was time to go to Cabela's.

We got to Cabela's about 15 minutes after it started.  We stood by the counter for awhile and then someone helped us.  I ended up buying the PPQ.  I thought about a couple of other guns, but they just would have sat in the safe.  Of course the whole buying process took a long time.  They had a lot of people there though and it went about as well as it could.

We bought the PPQ and then walked around the store some more.  I wanted to get a new pair of shoes, but they didn't have anything that fit.  We did get some slippers for Mom and some PJs for Ellen.  Her bag started leaking while we were there.

When we got home it was change the bag.  The process took an hour an a half because here intestine kept shitting.  I'm not sure what's wrong, but we need to find out how to get a bag to last more than 5 hours.

During that process I had to go to the apartment to get some more paper towels.  That's when I noticed that the roof of the truck shelter has torn in two.  The wind has been blowing pretty hard for most of the day.   I guess that and the Texas sun was too much for the cheap Chinese shit.  I have the cover that was left over from the last repair, so I guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.

It's 51 degrees right now.  I think Winter's coming.
