Today was a work day. We got out of bed at 8:30 and after breakfast I took the panel case out to the garage. I cut the hole for the power connections in the back and then painted it. That took awhile because I had some trouble measuring it out.
After that we left for Lowe's to buy some boards for the deck. I decided to buy 5 even though we only saw four that really needed replacement. After that we went to Randal's so see if the Girl Scouts were there - they weren't. We also got lunch at Jimmy John's. After fueling the truck we stopped at the field to run Lucy. Yesterday she did 32 retrieves. Today we limited her to 20. She didn't complain. The last stop was the post office.
When we got home I started work on the deck. The first board was already removed, so it was easy. The second and third boards were a pain in the ass. The screws were rusted and would break off or strip. I had to pry them up and drill some out. It was partly cloudy, and when the sum was out I was sweating like a pig.
It took a lot more screws than I thought, and I ran out on the third board. I'll have to get more before I can finish up. I'm going to use the 5th board to replace whatever looks worse.
When I was finished I was really tired. It was 4, and at 5 I wasn't about to go to the mailbox. Lucy didn't even complain. She just stayed in bed until 5:30 when I fed her.
The evening is TV and surfing. I think I'll watch the Tarheels. They won yesterday, today is the championship.
