Day 1232

We didn't get up until almost 9.  I just didn't feel like getting up, and medicating Devon a little late didn't seem like a big deal.  After pet stuff and breakfast I did copied the three CD's I bought last week.  Then I went to the garage to work on the weather vane.

I installed the tailbone on the top piece.  That involved making a spring mount and then mounting the two springs.  Then I taped off the tailbone and painted the top piece.  I cleaned up all of the mess that had been made.  There was metal filings all over the bench and the floor.

I also tried to fix the Craftsman drill press.  I think the capacitor may be fried.  I unbolted it and wrote down all of the markings.  Then I went inside to try to find one.  Amazon has them, but only with slow boat from China shipping.  We'll be gone before they'd get here.  The only ones I could find elsewhere are really expensive.  I guess a fix will have to wait until next fall.

All of this took until after noon.  I went back inside and did a little music editing.  Lunch was a salad from HEB.  After lunch it was more editing until it was time to do my exercises.  Lucy went out with me when I went to the apartment.  I expected her to go back home, but she didn't.  I ended up having to search for her.  After about 15 minutes of walking around in the woods she showed up.  I think she was chasing deer.

After a little more editing and surfing I watched TV.  Dinner was some HEB meal that Ellen fixed - noodles, chicken, and beans.

For some reason my lower left back is giving me a lot of trouble.  I feel really old today.  I hope it's OK tomorrow because I shoiuld dig the hole for the pole then.
