Day 3609

 I woke up at 6 and couldn't go back to sleep.  I played games for hours before getting up for pet stuff and breakfast.  I surfed for a little while and then called Audi.  The service guy said that they were just starting to look at the car.

I went outside to put gas in the mower and start it.  Surprise, surprise, the battery was dead.  I put it on the charger.

I decided to cut dead branches on the trees bordering the parking area.  That will make mowing easier.  I ended up cutting 6 or 7 armloads.  I was tired when that was done and went in to have lunch.  

When lunch was done I went back out to the garage and attached a new string head to one of the trimmers.  It would have been easy if I'd known what I was doing.  I didn't.  I ended up taking a lot of the trimmer head apart that I didn't need to.

The first mower battery wouldn't take a charge.  There was another in the shed, so I put it on the charger.  Then I went inside to see if it would take a charge.

While I was waiting Audi called.  They said that the problem requires a software update that hasn't been released yet.  At least it's OK to drive the car.  They suggested that I wait until tomorrow when thay get confirmation from Audi.  I said OK.

The second mower battery wouldn't take a charge either.  We went to the battery store for another.  We stopped at Sonic for drinks on the way back.  We also stopped at HEB for a lot of groceries.

When we got home I went out to the garage to put the new battery on the charger.  Then I used the Dremel to dissemble the 100 20 hunting shells that had been ruined when water got into the plastic bag they were in.  It to 2 hours and left me coated with plastic dust.  I went back inside and took a shower.

Ellen fixed steak for dinner.  It was good.  After dinner I did a little RC parts shopping, watched some football, and then surfed.

I'll mow tomorrow.  It's supposed to be a record high temperature.
