Day 2241

 We got up at 8, did the pet stuff, and surfed until John and Melissa came over a little before 9.  Then we left for Fredericksburg.  

A weird thing happened when we got to the gate.  As I was waiting for it to close a car with smashed right side windows came up and stopped in the cul-de-sac.  I kept going, but turned around when we'd gone about half a mile.  I returned like we'd forgotten something.  The car was gone.  It had turned the other way.

We stopped at the yuppie coffee shop for breakfast.  Then we hit the road.  I didn't go as fast as yesterday, but we made good time.  It was a little cool when we got there, but I was OK in a t-shirt.  It got warmer quickly.  Eventually it got up to 77.

John wore his new boots.  He said they were very comfortable.  We spent hours walking around everything.  John scored a wine rack made of horseshoes.  Ellen got some hair pins and a lighthouse wind chime for Patty.  I did really well.  I got three pieces of yard art - hand jack, a oil can, and a pipe reamer.  I also got some wood to trim the bead board in the bathroom and a big pot to boil the RC car parts in.  I spent $75 for everything.

We left a little after 2.  The drive home was OK until we got to Dripping Springs.  I had to stop at HEB for gas.  That meant I went back on 290.  That was a mistake.  The traffic sucked.

When we got home I did a little surfing.  John and Melissa sat out on the deck.  I went out and sat with them.  Ellen stayed in and surfed.

Melissa made burritos for dinner.  I'm a little pissed at Ellen.  She doesn't help, she just surfs.  After dinner John and I watched the auto auction.  I fell asleep.  When I woke up John and Melissa were gone.  I watched Youtube videos for a while and then went to bed.
