Day 485

We woke up with the alarm, but didn't get out of bed.  Instead we surfed for a couple of hours.  It was a lot warmer today, but really overcast.  I did the pet stuff and had breakfast.  Then it was more surfing.  About noon I went out and did my exercises.  I also installed the drill bit holders I ordered a while back on my Dewalt drills.

The first holder went on my old drill with no problems.  One screw in under a minute.  Putting the second one on the new drill was a pain in the ass.  It attaches with a screw that goes into a nut set in the base of the drill.  The nut wasn't set in far enough, so the screw wasn't long enough.  It took a while to figure that out.  My search for a longer screw was fruitless.  I finally tightened the screw without the holder to draw in the nut.  In doing so I almost completely stripped the screw.  That worked though and I got the holder attached  The whole thing took over an hour.

When I got back I surfed until Super Bowl time.  That sucked.  The commercials weren't very good except for a couple.  There were a lot of liberal themed things in both the commercials and the commentary.  Finally, the wrong team won.  The Falcons managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory with not one, but two really stupid offensive series.  It was worse than when the Seahawks lost.

After that I started watching a movie on Amazon.  It's a long one, so maybe I'll finish it tomorrow.
