Day 68

We woke up at a decent time today, but stayed in bed surfing until about 10.  I needed to mail the Cabela's stuff today, but after breakfast and surfing it was noon before we got to the post office.  That made me one of those people I hate - retired but going to the bank/post office at noon.  The line reached almost to the door.  It took half an hour to get served, but that wasn't really that bad.  It cost $21 to mail the package.

After the post office i made a stop at home depot to get the rest of the stuff I needed for the cart rebuild.  Then we went to the Italian place for lunch.  The last stop was Circle C.  The day was great.  Not a cloud in the sky, sunny and warm.  Lucy did a lot of retrieves even though it was sunny.  She was a happy dog.

When we got home I went to the garage to work on the cart.  I put the drill press together.  I used it to drill a couple of holes, with a corner vice to hold the parts.  It worked well.  That's when I realized that I'd cut 5 parts wrong.  So I spent the rest of the time recutting them.  I still have some hacksaw work to do on all 5.  After that I'll finally be able to get back to drilling holes.

I emailed Cabela's a copy of the post office receipt so that I could get reimbursed.  The lady I sent it to replied in a few minutes.  It was 6:15, so she was working late.

After dinner it was football and surfing.  The Bears suck.
