Day 3772

 I woke up at 6 and couldn't go back to sleep.  I gave up and played games instead.  I got up about 7:30 for pet stuff and breakfast.

It was raining steadily so I surfed for an hour or so.  Ellen said that traffic looked slow, but moving, so we left for Austin.  We took Abby with us.  The drive up was almost as stressful as the drive yesterday.  The rain and spray from vehicles cut visibility.  Of course the same idiots were driving.   We got stuck in a jam at the 410/I35 merge.  We also got stuck again farther North because of a truck wreck in the right hand lane.  Fortunately we were in the left hand lane and just had to drive 10 - 15 mph for a couple of miles.  Once we got about 10 miles south of Kyle the rain and traffic eased and we got up to the speed limit.

We almost batted 1,000.  We had to stop at the light at the Kyle exit.  We also had to stop at every light on 1626 except 1.  Two or three times it was for the longest delay possible.  We also had to stop for the two lights on 45.  Crap.

We got to the house and I realized I'd left the keys in San Antonio.  Fortunately Ellen had her's.  We only spent a few minutes there - just enough time to get my mouthpiece and reset a modem.  I really needed that mouth piece.  I woke up 2 or 3 times last night because I bit my tongue.  

The drive back was easier.  The rain had eased, but not stopped.  The traffic was lighter, too.  I even managed to got 80 for stretches.  The truck got 21.5 mpg.  Cool.  We got home about 12:30. 

We ate lunch.  After that I tried to check out the trailer tail light.   Then bulb is OK.  It appears that no voltage is getting to the socket.  I wonder if I killed the wire when I was drilling holes in the wall.  Oh well.  After that we went to the club.  It was still raining, but we had Gortex and waterproof footwear.  Most places weren't open.  We went to Coles and Ellen bought a hopped up A400.  It's a nice gun.  Then we ran the dog in the field.  She put in some miles and it took the edge off.

When we got home I surfed and watched videos.  Three dollar bill called.  He was worried about whether or not he still owned the condo.  I told him to look it up.  He sounds like Yo is taking care of him.  He complains about having a bad memory though.  I told him he should look up the county records on the condo.

I texted Dan about the call.  He called and I gave him a recap of the call.  By then it was time to go to bed.
