Day 340

I couldn't get to sleep last night.  I finally did - after 2.  When the alarm went off this morning I tried to turn over and go back to sleep.  No go.  So I played Minions instead.  After an hour or so I got up, did pet stuff (including vomit cleanup), and had breakfast.

The safe guy called and said he'd be here at 10:45.  So we surfed until then.  He was right on time.  They brought in the safe, set it up, and even bolted it to the floor.  Unfortunately they could only bolt the front.  The back holes matched up to the old bolts that I'd cut off.  It was worth the extra money.

After they left, we left.  We went to the post office and then ran the dog at the soccer field.  She did 20 retrieves.  It was clouidy and only in the high 80's.  After that we stopped for sandwiches.  The last stop was Home Depot where I got some replacement boards for the deck and some 2x4's for the well head shelter if I ever get to finish the foundation.

When we got home I unloaded the truck.  That's when I realized I should have bought a couple of more boards.  Oh well.  I spent a little time in the garage putting stuff away so that it will be easier to place the safe.  It was hot an humid, I was sweating, so I went inside.

After about an hour of surfing I decided to finish bolting the safe.  I got all the stuff from the garage - it took three trips because I kept forgetting things.  It took awhile to figure out where the shelves needed to go.  Unfortunately the indies of this safe are smaller than the old one.  It will be a challenge to fit everything in.

I drilled the first hole.  Because of the thicker safe walls I don't have long enough bolts.  There will be another trip to Home Depot tomorrow.

In the evening I decided to go out and finish the reloading I quit the other day.  The primer feed is still giving me fits.  I did finish the box though.

When I got back I watched a zombie movie.  I tried to call Mom to wish her happy birthday, but she didn't answer the phone.
