Day 1493

We woke up about 7:30, but stayed in bed until 8:30.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  After breakfast I went out to install the garage door opener.

I got up on the ladder and figured out how to remove the opener cover.  The insides didn't match the instructions that came with the opener.  I finally noticed a website in small print at the bottom of the instructions.  I went inside and brought up the website.

The website was an expanded version of the instructions - 30 pages instead of 4.  They were much clearer and more detailed.  I learned what I needed and went back out.  The opener programmed easily with the right instructions.  I attached it to the garage wall and put everything away.

John and Melissa came over.  They wanted to go to a museum by UT.  The museum didn't open until 1, so we decided to go there early and have lunch.  John drove.  We ate at a Mexican place near the museum that we picked at random.  It was good.

The museum was very interesting.  It was a large two story house that was built in 1855.  The place had been restored and each room was furnished in original furnishings from the early 1800's.  The furniture was beautiful.  The descriptions of the history of the house, it's occupants, and the contemporary Austin history was very interesting.

After that we took them home via the round about way we went yesterday.  It wasn't necessary, but they enjoyed seeing all of the expensive houses.  We also stopped at a riverside bar near RedBud just to look at it.

We got home about 3.  I went out and installed a catch on the trailer screen door.  It was a pain in the ass, but it works well.  Putting a catch on the slider will take a little more planning, so I went inside and surfed until dinner.

Ellen fixed shrimp on the Traeger for dinner.  It was really good.  Afterwards we talked for awhile and then watched football.  They left early because they have to get up tomorrow and drive north to Isaac's.

Yesterday Ellen and I discovered that the truck wouldn't read the USB I'd made with a book on it.  It turns out that the damn thing doesn't read WMA files.  That means that the hours I spent converting books so far were wasted.  I'm not a happy camper.  I had some trouble starting up the converter again but I should have at least one book converted tonight.
