Day 82

We woke up at 8:15 this morning because I forgot to turn off the alarm.  We decided to stay in bed an surf.  We asked the dog up.  She was nice and soft and sweet smelling.  She also loved laying between us since it was cold last night.

Later I got up, got dressed, and fed the animals.  Ellen stayed in bed.  When Lucy was finished eating she went back to bed.  She was really disappointed when Ellen got up right away.

I went out and cleaned out the car.  The shop vac did a good job on the mats and then I used we paper towel to clean the inside.  It ended up cleaner than when we left yesterday.

I also added two pieces to the cart to fix the shifting box issue.  I used two pieces that I'd made earler that turned out too short.  They were perfect for this application.  Unfortunately that was the only part of the job that went easily.  Because it was assembled, putting the pieces in place wasn't easy.

After that we went to the post office and lunch.  We went to Rudy's  We wanted to sit outside since it was nice (68 degrees) and it's supposed to get nasty and cold for the rest of the week.  Lucy was happy with her brisket tributes.

One the way back we stopped at Academy to get some archery stuff for Ellen.  They had a large supply of stuff, but not what she wanted.  We also stopped at a pet store so Lucy could get a treat for dinner.  We stopped at a toy store so Ellen could get another Star Trek model for the one she wrecked.  We stopped at the cookie store next door.  The cookies are expensive, but really good.  The last stop was Circle C, where Lucy did a whole lot of retrieves.  She actually did two drink stops before she wanted to go.

When we got home I did some internet shopping.  I got another battery and a battery charger for the tank.  The charger that comes with it charges at 300ma and takes 4 hours to charge the battery.  The new charger charges at 1 or 2 amps.  That's much better.  I couldn't resist.  They had a 20% off sale, so I bought another flashlight.  Oh well.

The evening was TV and surfing.  There wasn't any football (sigh).
