Day 1134

I woke up at 7:15, turned over, and went back to sleep until about 9.  It had been another late night.  Then it was get up for pet stuff and breakfast.  Then we left to go to an estate sale.

It was a successful one.  We bought a Walkman for Isaac to sell.  We also bought two lighthouse prints for Patty.  We bought a VHS digital converter and two books on CD's for ourselves.  Everything was 25% off, even though it was only Friday.

I was planning on going to a couple of other sales, except I didn't feel like fighting Friday traffic.  The first was near Mickelwaithes.  Unfortunately, I35 was a parking lot from 290 north forever.  The second was up at loop 1 and 2222.  I just didn't want to drive that far.

We went to lunch instead.  We stopped at a Cajun place on Brodie next to the donut shop.  It was really busy for lunch, but we got in right away.  I had gumbo.  It tasted OK, but it was soup not gumbo.  Ellen had the jambalaya.  It was good, but not as good as the other place.  We stopped at the donut shop for dessert.  Lucy got a bacon donut.

We made a short stop at Lowe's so I could get another quick disconnect.  Then it was the post office and home.  I had to wait quite awhile in line to get a package at the post office.  It was raining hard by then.  We've gotten 1.7 inches of rain today.

When we got home I tried covering the bedroom TV with aluminum foil.  It still fucked up the DirecTV.  I checked the power in the attic, it was OK.  I have no idea what is wrong.  I changed the power strip in the attic when I was up there.  That set off the alarm, even though I didn't touch the alarm's power supply.  We called the alarm company.  They are coming out Monday to look at it.

I was disgusted.  To have a small victory I went to the apartment and installed the new quick release.  The compressor still leaks down, but it's really slow.  I bet it's inside the compressor.  I also tightened up the knobs on the doors to the washer and dryer.  They bug me every time I use them.

Isaac called about a Beretta waxed coat he had on sale.  I went out to the trailer to look at mine and answer his questions about it.  It turns out he has another coat.  While I was there i checked the fan.  It's still leaking.  I also checked the floor by my side of the bed.  It was wet, too.  I closed the closet slide.  Hopefully that will fix the problem.  I have no idea how the water is getting in in either case.

Dinner was left over jambalaya.  I didn't go to the mailbox, it was raining too hard.

After dinner was TV until about 9.  At that point TV was boring the hell out of me, so the rest of the evening was surfing.
