Day 2208

 I woke up about 8 and played games for a long time.  It was 31 degrees when I wok up.  Eventually it was get up for pet stuff and breakfast.

It was still just 50 when we were finished.  I decided to drive to the estate sale with all of the lighthouse stuff.  It was 30 miles away.  Getting there involved driving on the toll portions of 71 and 130.  I decided to do it just to see the road.  I'm glad I did.  Driving on the freeway at 80 is a lot nicer than driving on the frontage roads with all the stoplights.

We passed the Tesla Gigafactory on the way.  The thing really is huge.  Take one of the huge Wally World distribution centers and triple it or more.

Today was the last day of a four day sale at the estate sale.  Things were really picked over.  What was left was 75% off.  I bought a couple of pieces of yard art.  We also got Patty a book on lighthouses and a nice framed picture of the lighthouse at Yaquina Head.  It was $4 for everything.

We drove back on the Toll road.  It was fun.  We went to Trader Joe's "just to look".  We ended up buying $60 of stuff.  All of it was stuff you don't see at other stores.  We also stopped at the pet store near Fireman's to get cat food.  The new cat food types are successful.  Both cats are starting to clean their bowls again.

The last stop was Cheddars for a late lunch.

When we got home I decided to do some research about buying a new TV.  Ellen reprogrammed the remote to see if it would fix the TV start up problem.  I learned a lot about the new HDMI cables.  Identifying working cables is difficult, maybe impossible.  We measured out how the new TV would look.  I'm actually not sure I want one that big.

Dinner was cold cut sandwiches.  After dinner was TV.  Elle will test out the new remote program when she goes to bed.
