Posted June 23, 2007

In the morning we had puppy class, the trainer keeps telling us how smart our dog is and how impressed she is with him. We think that is nice, I am skeptical just because I wonder if she gets some sort of gain out of building us up like that.

When we got back I took a nap. Every week we have gone out on Friday night before puppy class and end up being dead tired when we return. That took me into the early afternoon, somewhere around 12:00 or so. Sarah slept for about three hours, she was on the couch passed out until about 2.

I finally listed the working Dig Dug on ebay this afternoon, so that took a little bit of time to figure out the details. I don’t think I have sold many things on ebay, most of them being things like comics and small stuff. An arcade game is a whole other story.

I had kind of anticipated hanging out with Wes and Kate today, going out to their aunt’s house to go in the pool. But it ended up we didn’t do that at all.

I spent an hour or so looking at the Dig Dug in the garage, putting things back together, trying desperately with little success to figure out some of the schematics. But, I did get most of my problems ironed out on the one machine, so as of now I have two working machines.

Or so I thought. I went to turn the one on in the house, it had been about a month. So, for the rest of the night I spent stressing out on how to get that fixed. I tried some tests on some fuses and other pieces, and emailed some of my contacts to see if they could help. I have 7 days to figure something out or I will really be up a creek.

For a little while in the afternoon I thought I would be going down to Bloomington to pick up a free arcade game. So I made some calls to Jeff to see if I could borrow his truck, and then played the waiting game. That took about an hour and a half before I figured out it wasn’t going to work. Sarah and I talked about taking a bike ride to Styf’s, but we didn’t do that either, it was kind of overcast and threatening rain.

Sarah and I went out for a little bit to Kroger to get stuff for dinner. We had some chili, and Sarah made my favorite coconut cream pie. We took the dog for a walk, and I think just hung out, I don’t remember much else. I may have done a little bit of freelance stuff for a website… who knows. I do know we watched some tv together and went to bed.
