Day 771

We didn't get up until 10 today.  That's right - 10.  Of course we woke up at 8:30, but stayed in bed surfing.  After pet stuff and breakfast I went through the Black Friday emails.  It was costly.  I got 25% off and free shipping on some steel targets to use with the backstop I'm going to build.  I also got a 1-8 Vortex Strike Eagle scope w/mount for $260.  That's way less than we paid at Cabela's for a 1-6.

After that we went out to do errands.  We stopped at HEB for a cake for dessert tomorrow.  Then we ran the dog at Circle C.  She did 20 retrieves.  Not a huge amount, but not bad.  She was getting smelly, so we took her to the dog wash.She wasn't happy about that, but she did like the after bath cookie.  The last stop was the post office.

When we got home I felt the need to do something constructive.  I haven't really done anything in days.  I took out all of the recycling.  The can is completely full.  Then I went back to the archery target and started to clean it up.  I picked up all of the fiberglass insulation that was strewn around it.  Then I started to dismantle the rest.  I managed to get all of the fiberglass into two medium garbage bags.  Then I started on the foam boards.  I filled one bag with pieces of it and then had to quit.  That's all the room that was in the garbage can.  I left the cans in the street even though pickup isn't until Friday.  I don't want to forget - they are both chuck full.

After that it was more surfing until it was time to take the dog to the mailbox.  There was a letter there from Cigna.  I'm sure we missed some real mail in the three weeks that they weren't delivering it.

Somehow after dinner Ellen and I got on the subject of a new TV.  She did some research and determined that the LG OLED is the best available.  It's only 65 inches, but it's price is less than half what it was when it was introduced early this year.  We started looking for a good deal.  Of course buying it locally would incur $250 in sale tax.  So we looked online.

We pretty much decided to buy one so that her brother in law can help install it when they come down for Christmas.  So I decided to order a 4K blu-ray player from Amazon to go with the TV.  Just for grins I decided to add the TV also (Amazon had a pretty good price on it).  I was surprised to find that they only wanted to charge $10 tax (probably for the player).  So I ordered both.

The grand total for the day was $470 for toys and $2,450 for the player and TV.  I'm sure glad we have a lot of cash to burn.  I'm sure I'll be buying more stuff in the next few days.
