Day 2596

 I woke up at 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After a little surfing we went over to the apartment.

We measured the space on the wall and determined that a TV wouldn't fit on it.  We also showed that a 43 inch TV would fit in there well.  John helped me load the old TV into the truck and then we all left for Goodwill.

We dropped the TV at Goodwill and then stopped at the donut shop - sugar donut holes for John and a cinnamon roll for Melissa.  Then it was Best Buy for a new TV.  We bought a 43 inch LG 4K TV for $270.  Next up was the Cajun place for lunch.  We had a coupon.  The last stop was HEB for some more bread.  We ate a whole loaf last night.

Things got complicated when we got home.  The new TV didn't fit on the old stand.  The legs were too far apart.  I got a piece of wood from the garage and cut it to length.  I also rounded the corners.  Then I screwed it to the stand.  The TV fit, but wasn't really stable.  I drilled a couple of holes in the legs and screwed them down.  Everything worked fine when we turned it on.

Ellen started programming the TV and signing up all of the streaming accounts.  That's a long process.  I went back to the house.  I turned on the TV, but I was really planning on a nap.  I took the nap.

The other three showed up about 5.  I fed the cats and then John and I watched videos until dinner - sandwiches again.  After dinner we talked for a couple of hours and then it was time for John and Melissa to go home.
