Day 871

The dog woke me up at 4:30 this morning.  She barked several ties, but didn't leave her bed.  Unfortunately I couldn't get back to sleep.  So I played Mahjong instead.  I got up at 6:30, did the pet stuff, and had breakfast.  At least I wasn't in a hurry.

I stopped for a cup of coffee on the way to Hog Heaven.  When I got there it was a little disorganized.  I checked in with the shoot director.  That's the last I talked to him all day.  I was there by 8, and they started shooting about 9:30.  Apparently there was some sort of trapper assignment, but nobody told me about it.  There was supposed to be a trapper and a scorer on each station.  Station 1 had only 1 person, so I went out there and trapped.

It was a windy morning.  That made the station a little challenging.  It did make it comfortable though.  We were done about noon.  Lunch required a meal ticket.  I dodn't know if the volunteers got tickets, but of course I didn't get one.  I drove to Schlotky's instead.  Then I stopped at HEB for a few items.  I also stopped at Home Depot to look for shelves.  They didn't have what I wanted.

When I got home I started work on the apartment.  I got out the extension ladder and mounted the wifi antenna on the outside of the garage.  That meant several trips up and down the ladder.  I also had to fabricate a couple of grommets to fit around the cable as it went through the wall.  That took time, but I think it came out good.  I can't run the cable into the living room until I get some Velcro to put on the wall plate and a shelf to put the computer on.

After the antenna effort I got out the pieces for the laundry area shelf.  I had to cut 3 inches off of the shelf to make it fit.  Then I had to cut off a little more because the enclosure isn't square (surprise, surprise).  The rest of the effort was just a lot of careful measurement to make sure it came out well.  It did.

After that I put all of the tools away and took the dog to the mailbox.  I didn't exercise because I was tired from standing in the morning and going up and down ladders in the afternoon.

Dinner was pulled beef sandwich.  The evening was TV and Mahjong.
