We were up by 8, but stayed in bed surfing until about 9:30. It was raining lightly when we got up. I pretty much did that all day except for a period in the afternoon when we had a real thunderstorm. There was really loud thunder and really hard rain. Lucy was not happy. Neither were the cats.
The first order of business was to string the lights so I could get the Star Trek ornaments up. I've been neglecting it for days. It turned out not to be as bad as I expected. The result looks pretty good. Then I put all of the presents under the tree. They make an impressive pile.
After the tree I went out to work on the cart. Yesterday everything went smoothly. Today not so much. I misdrilled some holes. I also had some problems with drilling some holes where I couldn't use clamps. Finally, two of the large holes that were already in the material are right where I need smaller ones. And I don't have larger diameter screws. Damn.
A little after noon the alert company called. They don't have a web tracking function. So I spent a bunch of time looking for alternatives. I found one that looks pretty good and is a lot cheaper. So I cancelled the first company and ordered from the second. The online ordering process was screwed up, so after two tries I called them. I finally got it ordered.
I looked up the status of the stuff that Cabela's was sending. It arrived at the post office, so we drove there. They had a package Ellen was waiting for, too. I drove the truck and the roads were very slick. I spun the tires several times.
After we got home I didn't feel like going back out to the garage. So I surfed instead. After dinner it was TV and more surfing. The vet called. The dog's blood work looks normal - so no more pills.
