Day 1605

I woke up at 7 today.  There was no going back to sleep, so I started playing games.  I played games until about 9.  I went out to the garage after pet stuff and breakfast.  I wanted to see if the new run capacitor would fix the drill press.

I cut the old capacitor off, put connectors on the wires, and connected up the new capacitor.  It didn't help at all.  Crap.  I wanted to accomplish something, so I loaded up the hand sprayer with herbicide and sprayed the area around the truck and the rocks by the front lawn.   We'll see if it does any good in a couple of days.

When I went back to the house the "smart" squirrel was at the bird feeder.  I've never gotten a shot at him because he runs as soon as he sees me.  I snuck around to the tree behind the parking area.  He ran away as soon as I got to the tree.  So I set up the deck chairs so I could hide behind them.  Later in the day I got a second chance.  Unfortunately I forgot to take my glasses off.  The parallax caused me to miss.  I got a third chance later, but this time he ran away as I got around the house.

I ordered another drill press from Home Depot.  Their website wasn't working, so I called in.  It was weird ordering something the old fashioned way.  They gave me a $40 discount for having to call in. 

I did a little surfing, but soon got sick of it.  So I got out the Lego and started working on the next section.  As usual I worked until it started to feel like work.  After that I read and watched a little TV.

Ellen fixed a turkey dinner from Schwan's.  It was pretty good.  After dinner was TV, reading and some game playing.  I'm in competition with another guy.  I won't know if I won until tomorrow.
