Day 42

I finally faced up to it and fixed the trim on the trailer that Ellen had ripped up.  It was a pain in the ass to remove the two screws, just like I thought it would be.  I did get them out and the result isn't perfect, but it does look a lot better.

After that I decided to try repainting one of the posts in the driveway.  The thing I bought for the drill would work, but it would have taken a lot of battery recharges.  I noticed that I had acquired an angle grinder at some point.  It worked really well.  Unfortunately the paint acts like it really need a primer.  I'll have to get some before doing the next post.

We needed to go to the grocery store.  So we went there and the post office.  First we took the dog to Circle C and threw the bumper.  She had a whole lot of energy.

When we got home I sat down to watch TV.  The chair put me to sleep instead.

Just before dinner Ellen called me into the bathroom.  There were a bunch of really small ants crawling up the frame of her closet door.  I think their what people call crazy ants.  We mopped them all up.  They appeared to be coming from the molding at the bottom of the door.  So I sealed it with super glue.  Tomorrow I'll get something better and do a better job.  What I did seems to be working.

I can see why people call them crazy ants.  They run around like crazy when the perceive a threat.  Also there's a million of them and they are very small.  They could drive you crazy.  We seem to have lucked out and found them just as they were starting to get into the house.  I hope we can keep them at bay.
