Day 1634

I woke up a little before 9.  I didn't game because it was so late.  Instead it was get up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After that it was a little surfing.  By 10 we were on our way to Tractor Supply to buy birdseed.  The squirrels and deer have eaten up our supply.  I guess the birds might have gotten some, too.

After Tractor Supply we stopped at Home Depot.  I needed a spray bottle to apply the rubber roof cleaner I just bought.  They didn't have any (neither did Tractor Supply).  Apparently that's an item people are buying out for some reason.  I bought a $2 bottle of window spray instead.  It was cheaper than an empty bottle would be.

We also stopped at HEB for milk and orange juice.  Of course we ended up buying a lot of other stuff, too.  It was really nice not having to wear masks.  The Hays county judge declared them to be necessary, but the sheriff said he wouldn't enforce it.

On the way home we stopped at Tomlinson's to get Lucy some treats.  We also stopped at CVS for more masks.  They had little bottles of hand sanitizer so I bought one for each car.

When we got home we had HEB meals for lunch.  Then I went out to the garage to finish the marble project.  It took awhile, but I got the gearbox working.  Unfortunately it wouldn't drive the marble thing.  That was because there was a little wobble in the gearbox driveshaft and a big wobble in the marble thing's driveshaft.  If I'd been a mechanical engineer I'd have known the project was doomed from the start.  Oh well.  I saved the gearbox and put the marble thing in the Goodwill pile.  I took a shower afterward because it was almost 90 and very humid in the garage.

The deer showed up as soon as Ellen filled up the bird feeder.  I started shooting them with the low power pellet pistol.  They kept coming back.  They just stood and stared at me when I opened the door to shoot them.  Eventually I shot them enough that they took off.  I bet they're back tonight.

We had another HEB meal for dinner.  Then I sat down for TV and a recorded movie.  About 9 a thunderstorm moved in.  We had a short power glitch.  The report said penny sized hail, so I went out to move the car into the garage.  The garage door wouldn't work.  After trying to reset it I discovered that one of the garage power circuits was dead.

I tried to debug the problem  I turned off and reset every breaker in the panel.  Nothing fixed the problem.  It didn't help that the asshole that built it didn't label half the breakers.  I finally gave up and just put the car in the garage.

The whole effort involved lots of running around outside in the heat, humidity, and rain.  I'm going to need another shower.

A final note.  I'm supposed to piss and shit blood a little after the biopsy.  I pissed a little blood on Wednesday, but very little or none at all yesterday.  I also didn't piss much or any this morning.  Unfortunately this afternoon about 5 I pissed a lot.  The instructions say I might piss blood for weeks.  They also said not to do any thing strenuous, and I took a long walk on Wednesday.  I'm just going to have to see how it goes.
