Day 1593

Devon woke us up about 5:30.  he was screaming, probably because there was a lot of thunder.  After awhile the thunder stopped and he quit screaming.  Instead he started knocking everything off the bathroom counter.  I finally locked him in the cat room.

Unfortunately I couldn't get back to sleep even though I tried.  I started playing games.  I played games until after 8.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  I wanted to play with the tripod that came yesterday, but it rained most of the day - .67 inch.

I got out the gear set I got yesterday and worked out the gearing I'll need to reduce the motor speed from 24,000 rpm to around 70.  That should drive the marble thing pretty well.

After lunch it was some more surfing.  I broke down and brought in the tripod and unpacked it.  It's pretty neat.

The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent on TV and surfing.  Hopefully it won't be raining tomorrow.  It was a good call to postpone the mowing.
