We go up at the regular time and were at the tire store at eight when they opened. I had decided to replace all four tires. Unfortunately they didn't have four tires. Fortunately they got two from another store. Unfortunately they cost more. Oh well. Replacing all four cost me $500, but the peace of mind is worth it. We were on our was by 8:30 or so.
The trip home was short and uneventful. We were there by about 10. The car started with no problem and we parked the trailer without much trouble except for moving a lot of rocks. I left the truck hooked up because we'll be taking the trailer to Camping World next week.
The house seems in good shape. The pump started up without a problem. The door to the well house was open and won't close. The porch motion light is burnt out and the outside temp and humidity sensors aren't working. Of course everything is overgrown and there's a depressing amount of weeds in the gravel areas.
The next three hours were spent unloading the trailer. It was in the sun, which we're not used to. I did a lot of sweating. We did get the whole thing unloaded, but there's still some stiff in the truck bed.
We went for lunch at 1:30. Our first stop was the post office. We had a whole box of mail and two packages. We separated out the important stuff and went to Fireman's for lunch. We went through he mail while we at. Lucy had a Merrick sausage. One of the things in the mail was a 10% off coupon for Best Buy. That was good, because I killed my keyboard last night trying to clean out all the Mike's Fletcher spilled on it.
I got a nice keyboard that's an improvement over the old one. It was only $20 more than a straight replacement.
We went home and started working on the mail and putting away all of the stuff from the trailer. We made a dent, but there's a lot to go. Ellen's laptop screen got cracked. That gives it a one inch black spot at the upper right. Fortunately the monitor we bought works great, so it's not a big problem. I see a new laptop in her future.
We're watching TV right now, the rest can wait until tomorrow.
