When we got up this morning we immediately left for Lowe's. I really wanted to get the paint so that I could finish the cart. I also got another light. I plan to swap its ballast into one of the existing lights. Because we hadn't had breakfast, we stopped at Jim's after the post office.
The next stop was Tomlinson's for cat food and a Christmas present for Lucy. She got a chew toy. While we were there Dan called. Tony was last heard walking 7 miles home from the freeway, where he ran out of gas. One of his buddies went looking for him at 3am, but Tony was too incoherent to tell him his location.
The last stop was Circle C. We walked to the upper creek crossing throwing retrieves all the way. There was enough water up there for Lucy to swim, so I threw a whole lot of water retrieves. I threw retrieves on the way back, and then more when we got back. The dog just didn't want to stop. She likes it when the temperature is in the 40's.
While we were at the park Dan called again. A social worker had called him. Apparently Tony had found a hospital to go to last night. They took a look at him, called Dan, and decided to commit him. I guess he'll spend Christmas in the looney bin. That's actually the best thing for him.
When we got back I went back out to the garage. I cut pieces for the base and top of the storage area. Then I put everything together and painted it. I've got one more coat to put on, attach the sides, and then it's ready to put on the frame. It looks pretty good.
The evening was watching TV and surfing. No football.
