Day 1857

 I got up about 8, did the pet stuff and had breakfast.  Daniel wasn't up, so I just surfed.  He got up after 9.  We talked for a little while and then he went to the apartment for coffee.

I continued looking for e-bikes.  It turns out that adding a kit to my bike will leave me with a less than optimal solution.  It would be workable, but it wouldn't have some important features or the quality components that a production bike had.  I ended up being pretty sure I'd of the one I wanted to buy.  It's between 50 and 100% more than a kit.  I'm rich.

Later on Ellen found out that Cliffy has an e-bike by the manufacturer that I picked.  He really likes it.  That pretty much cements my decision.

John and Melissa came over with Daniel.  We talked for a while.  John called Isaac, the car was still sick.  John went to look at it.  Melissa started working on dinner.  Ellen was cooking the roast.

Eventually John bought Isaac and his girlfriend.  We spent hours sitting around the kitchen table talking and surfing.  Daniel had all of the NBA games on.  Apparently he'd bet on all of them.  Of course we opened presents.  Everyone got cool stuff.  I think Isaac and Bella liked all of the stuff we'd put aside for them to sell.

Dinner was a production again.  We had roast beef, loaded baked potatoes, and grilled asparagus.  After dinner was more surfing, NBA watching, and talking.  Isaac started playing online poker with his dad.  They won a little.

Melissa wasn't finished.  She fixed bread and cheese about 2 hours after dinner.

John took Issac and his girlfriend home about 8:30.  Daniel went with them.  I spent some time cleaning up.  I made two trips to the garbage and one to the recycle.  The recycle is getting pretty full.  After that we just waited for Daniel to get back.

Daniel wants to go shooting tomorrow, so we'll get up early to go to Marble Falls.  We have to go early because everyone wants to get together to have lunch to celebrate Melissa's birthday.
