Day 43

I went estate sailing today while Ellen went with a neighbor woman to the F1 thing downtown.

I only stopped at two places.  They were both busts.  Everything was old and in a lot of cases overpriced.  There were two other sales, but they were at Far West and Steck and I didn't feel like driving that far.

I did stop at Harbor Freight and got some wheels for stripping the paint off the poles.  I also stopped at Home Depot and got some spray paint for the poles and some sealant.  I'll use the sealant to keep the ants out of the bathroom.  The paint is both a primer and paint together so maybe it will work better than the stuff we used yesterday.  It's also a lot cheaper.

I had lunch at Golden Corral.  I'm old enough to get a discount there now.

The last stop was Circle C.  I walked over to the creek so Lucy could swim.  She did a whole lot of work.  I'm not sure she was tired out when we got back to the car.

When I got home I got out the blower and blew the leaves off of the deck.  They were really deep in the corner.  It was really wet under them, which wasn't doing the deck any good at all.  The blower is another thing that Lucy doesn't like at all.

After that I read the paper out on the deck.  It was a really nice, 80 degree afternoon with almost no wind.

Ellen brought home some Baklava from the F1 thing.  It was really good.  Good enough to qualify as the real thing.  It was from a roach coach.
