Day 353

We woke up with the alarm this morning.  Then we spent the next hour gaming and surfing.  After that it was get up, pet stuff, and breakfast.  The temperature was the coolest it's been in months - 70.  I went out to the gate.  It wasn't working.  I couldn't do anything to debug it because it was raining.  After the gate investigation it was time to move the safe into the apartment.  It's been a pain in my ass for weeks.

First I went out and made a place for it in the second bedroom.  I moved the speakers into the first bedroom and moved the ammo out of the corner.  Then I got Ellen to help me put the safe on the dolly.  Getting the loaded dolly out of the garage was a pain.  There was a raised threshold that we had a hard time getting over.  After that it was smooth sailing moving it into the room, off the dolly, and into the corner.  Finally I had to restack all of the ammo.

After that it was time for some surfing, lunch, and a shower.  Then we did a little more surfing and then we went to the post office and Costco.  I wanted to get some batteries.  We were near out, and they are the only source of light when the power is out.

When we got home I discovered that the gate had latched itself when I closed it manually.  That's the first time that's ever happened.  I had to climb over the fence, get tools, and unbolt the latch.  I thought I could do a quick fix with cable ties.  Nope.  I had to fabricate a bracket to hold back the spring loaded bolt, drill a hole, and mount it.  It was a pain in the ass.

After that I didn't feel like doing anything.  No such luck.  When I got back inside I had to take the window coverings down on the three windows that they are going to replace tomorrow.  I also had to move a bunch of furniture away from them.

By the time I was finished it was time for dinner.  After dinner I was going to watch the gun shows, but they are all reruns.  So I watched football.  The first half was fairly good, but the game turned into a laugh-er in the second half.  So I watched some other stuff and played Minions.
