A little sleeping in and some surfing meant that we didn't get up until 9. The et activities were enhanced by having to clean up spilled litter and cat barf.
After breakfast I went out to the garage to finish as much of the hoist install as I could. I finished everything that I could do without more u-bolts. It was over 95 in the garage and the humidity was pushing 80%. So I was soaked with sweat by the time I was finished.
That meant a shower when I got in. While I was in the shower I got the idea of reinforcing the beams where the brackets attach with corner braces. It means more work, but I think it will be worth it.
After that it was time to take the dog somewhere. She hadn't been any place for 2 or 3 days. We stopped at the post office and then ran her at the soccer field. She did 14 retrieves. That's really impressive given the heat. The next stop was Home Depot where I got corner brackets and screws to reinforce the beams.
I wanted the dog to have a good day, so we went to Opal Devine's for lunch. She had a slider and an ice cream treat. I had a scramble and two pints of Guinness. I'm not sure what's going on, but I don't seem to be as affected by alcohol as I always have been. Two pints should have knocked me on my ass. Instead I barely felt any effect.
On the way home I stopped and picked up my drugs. We also stopped at the snow cone place.
Ellen's bag had started to leak a little while we were out. That's cool. It's lasted for almost a week. She waited until most of hr lunch had been processed and then we changed it. It will be interesting to see how long the new bag lasts.
The rest of the day was surfing, reading, and TV. Ellen watched some strange chick flick. Then we switched to Godzilla movies.
