I woke up about 7:15 and played games for quite a while. Eventually I got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After a little surfing we left for Hooch's house.
The trip was fine because we didn't leave until after 9. We stopped at Safeway to get Martha some grapes.
A little after we got there Hooch and I started to install his new outside house lights. There were 5 of them. We'd replaced them once before and had some problems with them. Unfortunately neither of us remembered what the problems were. We relearned them on the first lamp. Basically the mounting hardware doesn't fit well. We had to cut the heads off screws the first time. This time we had to reuse them.
The rest of the lights went better because we knew what to do to get them attached. It did take several hours to get them done.
Ellen and Martha went off to help put flowers on some floats, I guess for the Rose parade.
The next task was installing a couple of wifi enabled light switches. It took us some time to decode the switch instructions and the wiring in the box. The wiring was very extensive and complicated. Eventually we figured it out. Hooch did all of the work, I just consulted.
When that was done Hooch and I went out on the deck to drink beer. We talked about possible vacations and then got talking about dog collars.
Eventually Ellen and Martha came back. Martha fixed spaghetti for dinner while Dan and I kept talking. It was 8:30 by the time dinner ended. We went home then. At least this time the traffic was great.
My car wasn't at the post office. I went back and reviewed the tracking information. Basically it "fell off the truck" yesterday. Unfortunately I won't be able to get a refund for two more days. Once I have the money I'll order it from Amain.
