Day 3739

 I woke up at 8, played games for a while, and then got up for pet stuff.  No breakfast because I needed a blood test.  Instead I took up an old unfinished job.

 Years ago I installed a sliding door in the master bathroom so that there was some slight privacy if desired.  The install was a real pain in the ass.  As I finished the install I discovered that there was no way to anchor the door stop.  The door would slide off the guide if you opened it too far.  I was too tired and disgusted to fix it.  Somehow it never got fixed.  Today I fixed it.

Adding a set screw to the factory door stop would require removing both the door and it's rail.  That's probably why I didn't fix it.  After a little analysis I figured out how to make my own door stop.  It was simple and only required removing a couple of small parts and drilling holes in them.  I did that.  Then I added a door stop made out of some leftover M4 threaded rod and a couple of old plastic door stops.  The whole fix took an hour or so and really improved the door.

It was going to get hot today (eventually 90), so I went outside and walked the property while the dog ran.  It was 11 by the time I was finished.   That's when I went to the doctor.  When I got back I had breakfast and surfed until it was time to take Ellen to her eye doctor appointment.  I sat in the truck outside and played games.

When she was done we went to Central Market.  We were going to buy a birthday cake, but they didn't have one.  We went to HEB instead.  We'll see how good it is tomorrow.

I did some surfing and some video watching until dinner.  Ellen fixed beef and rice.  After that it was videos and surfing for the rest of the evening.
