Day 407

I woke up in the early morning because I had drank two cans of pop late in the evening.  Then I went back to sleep until shortly before the alarm went off.  It was time for Minions and surfing.  There was a lot of it, since I didn't feel like getting out of bed.  I finally got up about 10.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.

It was cold this morning, about 45 when I woke up and high 50's when I went outside after breakfast.  There was a breeze that varied quite a bit.  I took down the torn truck cover roof.  The sides of it are stitched.  The top is welded.  The top had completely torn.  The sides were fine.  That was all I was planning to do, but by the time I was finished it had turned into a nice day.  So I got the new top out of the back building and got Ellen to help me put it up.

There was still a light breeze that came and went.  I temporarily tied a couple of ropes to the ends of the top.  That allowed us to pull it over the framework without having to get up on the ladders.  The wind helped a little, too.  I tied the corners down one at a time.  It wasn't super hard, but it wasn't easy either.  The wind didn't help there.  Finally we connected the bungees.  It all went together better than I thought it would.

After putting everything away it was time for some more surfing and lunch.  After lunch we had to go to the grocery store to buy something for tomorrow's potluck.  We stopped at Circle C first.  Lucy did 26 long retrieves.  She really likes the cooler weather.  After HEB we went to Tomlinson's to see if they carried the new cat food that we discovered at the dog party last week.  Fletcher really likes it.  Unfortunately they don't carry it.  The people working there really like Lucy.  They were giving her all sorts of dog cookies.  I let them because Lucy was beside herself with happiness.  There was even another dog there to play with.

When we got home it was more surfing and a little Minions.  I just didn't feel like doing anything else.

The evening was TV.  We watched the Grand Tour, the replacement for Top Gear.  It had been getting rave reviews on the net.  They were right, it's a great show.
