I got up this morning and started working on the control panel. I did most of the work needed to install the two power switches. I was really killing time until Lola showed up with the eggs that Ellen ordered. That happened a little after 10. Then we wrapped up Patsy's birthday present and went to the post office.
Our first stop was an estate sale. There was an incredible amount of stuff in a small house. I bought a metal Flamingo for the yard. I'll need to repaint it. Then it was the post office. After the post office we took the dog to the field. She did three or four retrieves and then left it in the field and started walking around. When I went out to get the bumper she ran ahead and brought it to me. After that she did another 20 or so good retrieves.
After that we went home. I stopped at the 1826 roach coach and got a couple of brisket tacos.
When I got home I got out the ladder and checked the gutters. They were clean except for the last two feet by the drain. That stretch was completely filled and clogged with leaves. I cleaned it all out and ran water down the pipe to flush it.
The final bit of useful work was to finish up the control panel switches. I'll probably pack it up tomorrow. John and Patty are coming on Monday. I had a talk with him today about parking their trailer.
I decided to spend the rest of the afternoon on a Minions party. It started out well, but then I got stuck on a requirement for a huge amount of resources that took a long time to produce even at 5X. It wasted all of the high speed time. I'll have to spend days of slow time setting up another party.
The evening was TV. Ellen watched several of her fantasy shows. Then we watched Futurama and the Blacklist.
