Day 3264

 I woke up a little after 7 and played games for a while.  Then it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  Abby didn't want to eat, but Ellen put in some enhancer and then she ate most of her breakfast.  After that We loaded up the car and left for Hondo.

The trip didn't start well.  We got a few miles down 1626 and there was an accident blocking the road.  Luckily we could do a u-turn and take some back roads another way to go to I35.  It cost us some time though.

Once on I35 we made really good time.  Overall we beat the GPS time estimate by over 15 minutes.  We got to Hutto about 10:40.  The BBQ place wasn't open until 11, so we stopped at HEB and bought Abby a toy for her kennel.  Then we picked up some brisket and turkey at the BBQ.

When we got to the trainer I let Abby run a little and then the trainer put her in the kennel.  She's between her mother and her sister.  Then we talked with the trainer for a while about what type of hunting we wanted her trained for.  They said that the training would take 2+ months.  After that we left for home.  I made sure that I didn't look back at Abby as we left.

There was a big traffic jam where 410 meets I35, so we decided to go home via Bandera with a stop at Fredericksburg.  The trip to Fredericksburg was nice with the back roads being mainly empty.  Fredericksburg sucked.  They had a wine festival AND the trade days going on.  There was no place on either the main road or the side road to find a parking place.  We wouldn't have been able to get into a restaurant anyway.  We just drove through and kept going.

We stopped at a burger place in Johnson City that the internet recommended.  It was good.  Then we went home.  Overall we covered over 250 miles.  

I was tired, but before I went inside I got out the pole saw and cut a lot of low hanging dead branches off the tree at the end of the parking area.  That way I can mow the lawn there.  Then I put the lawnmower battery on the charger.  Hopefully I can mow the lawn tomorrow.  That would be the last big job to do.

After that I went inside to watch videos and almost immediately fell asleep.  When I woke up I did some surfing and cleaned up the Aliexpress mail.  They generate a lot a extraneous emails about an order.  I also looked at the tracking for the tire pressure sensors.  They were due today.  Now the USPS says Tuesday or so.

"Dinner" was a snack of brisket and bread.  After that was a little more videos followed by surfing.
