Day 2609

 I got up about 8:30, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  When breakfast was over I took the garbage out and then went to the garage to put away the tools from yesterday.

When that was done I went out to dress the gate wires.  I attached the antenna wire to the post and put the controller and gate wire in plastic sheathing.  I was about to declare it done when I noticed that one of the muffler clamps was rubbing on the end of the actuator.  

I removed the clamp, took it to the garage, cut one end down, and reattached it.  I also put one of the delrin washers on the actuator pin.  When I reattached everything it looked and worked good.

I went back inside the house and surfed for a little while.  Then we all left for the botanical gardens.  They were pretty beat up.  All the plants were dormant and the water features were either rally dirty or dry.  It's still a pretty neat place though.

Afterwards we went to a place on Lake Austin Blvd that was recommended on the web.  It was shut for remodeling, but the place next door was open.  It turned out to be a great choice.  The food was great and so were the drinks.

We didn't get home until after 4.  I watched videos until John and Melissa came over for dinner.  Then John and I watched more videos until Ellen got through fixed BBQ'd chicken legs for dinner.

After dinner John and I watched videos.  We found several really entertaining ones on a variety of subjects.
