I worked on the software for the watering timer all day. It's coming along pretty good. We had Nathans hot dogs with relish and mustard for lunch, a holiday tradition. I talked to Debbie about our Mardi Gras trip. She is going to correct the invoice and also take my $1,000 next installment for the trip. For dinner t0night I made chicken sliders with Apricot chutney. neither of us cared for it very much. there was too much garlic in it and not much other flavor. After dinner tonight we took a trip to the ice cream store, Brewsters and got two small waffle cones. Each cone has two scoops of very rich ice cream.

I booked the Blake Hotel for a night earlier for $161 in New Orleans then bought tickets leaving Tampa on Wed before Mardi Gras and returning Monday.
