Day 2213

 I woke up a little after 8 today and played games for a half hour.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  After breakfast it was surfing for a little while.  Of course the Home Depot site said the delivery was delayed until Monday.

We left to go to an estate sale about 10.  The sale opened at 9 and I wanted to let the line go down.  That strategy didn't work.  There was a line of 10 or so people outside when we got there.  It took half an hour or more before we got in.

The sale had a lot of good stuff.  Most of it was priced well.  We'd come for a book case for the guest bedroom.  They still had it.  It is all wood and priced at $75.  We bought it.  It was just small enough to fit in the car when the seats were folded down.  We also bought a couple of other small items.

After loading everything in the car we went to the Armadillo Christmas sale.  It was held outside at the Parmer Auditorium.  It was 78 today, but fortunately it was cloudy.

There were an amazing number of booths, at least 50.  The guy who makes lights out of old electronics was there, but he didn't have anything I liked.  We did find a few small items we liked.  The best was a wooden remote control holder that actually holds remote controls.  When we were finished we ate lunch at Sandy's drive-in.

I left there a little sad.  We spent a lot of time with Lucy in that area - the dog park, the drive-in, the dog stores, the park areas, etc.  I really miss that dog.

After lunch we stopped at Trader Joe's.  We liked some of the stuff we bought there last week, so we bought more of the same.  The Caesar Guerini guys called to say the Revenant was in.  I put them off saying I was driving.  I'll have to call them with a decision tomorrow.  I don't really need the gun, and it's really expensive.  On the other hand I have literally no other use for the money.  It just feels like I'll be wasting a lot of money if I buy it.

When we got home I packed up all the train stuff in the guest bedroom cabinet.  Then I moved it out and put the new bookcase in its place.  All of the Lego vehicles I've built fit on it nicely.  Unfortunately there isn't room for any more.

We watched TV for the rest of the evening.  Dinner was a sandwich.
