I woke up about 7, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. After a little surfing we both went out to the apartment to get it ready for John and Melissa.
Ellen checked out the internet and TV operation. The internet was fine, but the on air TV didn't work well. Apparently the antenna that fell down a couple of year ago was necessary. I started working on fixing it while Ellen cleaned the apartment.
Lee had disconnected the antenna when it fell down. That meant that both sides of the connector were corroded. I spent quite a while with a Dremel brush and q-tips getting them as clean as I could. Then I started to mount brackets on the wood base. It was pretty rotten and cracked when I started screwing in thee brackets. I through the wood away and used a piece of scrap treated wood instead.
By then Ellen was finished. She held the ladder while I screwed the brackets onto the garage wall. When she tested the TV now it receives all of the broadcast channels. We both took car bodies back to the house to work on.
I removed most of the masking from the BRZ. Ellen did the part with the liquid mask. She also redid some of the masking on the Slash. After that we both had lunch.
Abby had been pestering us all day to go for a walk. After lunch we took her to Circle C. I wasn't feeling all that well, probably because of last night's shot. I planned on walking just a little bit, but eventually we walked about as much as usual. Abby had a shot at 3 or 4 squirrels. She really enjoyed herself.
We stopped at HEB on the way home. We needed bread. I also bought a bunch of meat for when John and Melissa come.
When we got home neither of us wanted to do anything. After some videos I went out and put a coat of paint on the BRZ. After that the afternoon and evening degenerated into videos, naps, and surfing for both of us.
