Day 2705

 I woke up about, played games briefly, and then got up for breakfast.  Ellen did the pet stuff.

There was another thunderstorm last night.  It wasn't as big as the last one, but it was pretty heavy.  The club decided to delay things an hour again.  That means we didn't shoot until 4:30=].

It was cold and windy, so I decided to tackle another couple of chores.  I didn't do them yesterday because I knew that they would be a pain in the ass.  The first was fixing the refrigerator light fixture.  It had come out of the wall.  It was held in by this cheap plastic friction fastener.  I replaced it with a screw.  The job wasn't hard, but it took time.

The second job was hooking the TV audio to the receiver.  I started by removing all of the cables and hardware that the DirecTV box used.  I'd left them in case we didn't like Starlink.  Then I totally disconnected the receiver.  I had to do that to identify all of the unlabelled cables in the rats nest behind it.  I needed the truck stool to get to everything.

I labelled all of the cables and routed a new one to the TV.  Of course that involved drilling a hole.  I also had to route the subwoofer cable again because it had come off.  Finally I reconnected the receiver.  After Ellen spent a little time programming the remote it all worked perfectly.

That task took several hours.  When I was done I had lunch.  Then it was outside to dump the tanks.  We took the dog and garbage to the dumpster.  Then I had a little over an hour to surf before going to the club.  It was 59 degrees, cloudy, and windy.

When we got to the course there were only 40 targets.  That's because the big storm had rained it out.  It was fun though and I actually shot a little better.  We didn't get done until after 6.

We stopped at HEB for fuel and groceries.  That took longer than it should have because the deli was packed.  We also stopped at Whataburger on the way home.  It wasn't as bad as we remembered.

After we got home there were a bunch of chores - line up the truck, clean mud off our shoes (4 pairs), clean mud off the floor, feed the pets, and put the guns away.  It was after 8 before we got to eat.

The very short evening was a little TV and some surfing.
