Struggled with the controller card through the morning before going to the grocery stores for old geezer day. Found that the door signal was shorted to the LEd with a solder splash. The door open now works but the logic level is only 2 volts in the down level. Either there is not enough drive on the input or the output was damaged from being shorted. It's not a good down level. Will check the pull up resistor to make sure it's only 4.7k. May need to go to 10k. In any event, the down level needs fixing. Went to deposit my $59 Home Depot rebate check then filled my gas tank at NAD. Some stations are running out of gas due to hurricane Ike and the changeover to low sulfur gasoline. Stopped by Great Clips next to Krogers to see if they were busy and they weren't so i got a haircut. Had it cut shorter. We've been communicating with Anne about hotel reservations for Dallas on Dec 6. Will visit the Nasher in downtown Dallas then the wedding on Saturday then the Dallas opera on Sunday. Watched the TIVO version of last nights dancing with the stars. it was the season opener. The surprise was Brooke Burke. This gorgeous girl has 4 children and can really dance. The comedian is terrible. Cloris Leachman is also terrible but at least is entertaining. This morning I had toruble with Traviata. It wasn't there and I couldn't get it back so I turned it off and restarted. Still don't know what happened.
Dinner was Trader Joes pasta.
