Today was a day of rest - sort of.
While Ellen did the wash, I finished cutting off the towel rack and attaching it to the cabinet door. Then I decided to attach the clock that keeps falling down. It wasn't working, so I replaced the battery. It started up, but stopped after a couple of minutes. The mechanism case was clear and I could see a black thread that was gumming up the gears. So I carefully pried apart the case and removed the thread. Unfortunately a couple of the gears were captured by features in the case top. It was difficult to get them lined up, but I finally managed to do it. The clock has been working correctly for the whole day.
After the wash was done we went to town. We walked all over it. We spent a few hundred dollars buying Christmas presents and stuff for ourselves. We also ate lunch. On the way back we fueled up the truck.
When we got home I took the dog to the field across the street. That didn't go well. After one retrieve her feet were filled with goatheads. I removed them and we went home. To make it up to here I got out one of the folding chairs, got a Mike's, and surfed outside with the dog. I think I must have been getting bitten by something because my arms and legs are really itchy.
Ellen set us up for high speed internet. I've gotten one text and 6 emails about it in the last few hours.
We ate dinner (hotdogs) in the trailer. Tomorrow I want to be at the inspection place at 8 when they open.
