We didn't get up particularly early this morning. There was no reason to. After pet stuff and breakfast I surfed and Ellen worked on the club website. I couldn't work on the bathroom LED light because I needed a plug for the soldering iron.
Somewhere between 10 and 11 we left for McMinnville. It was really an excuse to ride the ferry. The timing was great. When we got there we just drove on and then they took off. When we got to the other side we drove onto the beach and let Lucy swim. She really had a good time and did at least 20 retrieves. She would have done more, but she didn't complain when I called it quits.
When we got to McMinnville there was a farmer's market going on. We bought half a flat of strawberries and some lavender soap. Then we walked around town for awhile and had lunch. That was a bad move. Ellen's asshole was giving her problems at the market. Eating lunch made it worse. She spent half of lunch in the can. I drove home as fast as I could, but she still had to stop at a gross port-a-potty at the ferry. Through all that I didn't get a plug.
When we got home I took a plug from the club (I should have thought of that yesterday). I wired up the plug and then soldered the four LED strips together and installed them in the diffuser. Everything worked fine. Then I tried to install them in the small trailer. It was over 90 today and the trailer was hotter than hell. That's when I found out that I screwed up positioning the power switch. I'd have to cut a new hole and cover the old one. I decided to have dinner at that point.
After dinner I went to Woodburn to find a switch cover. Two auto stores didn't have one. I ended up at Dollar Store where I bought a plastic plate. When I got home I spent an hour or more cutting out a cover from the plate. Unfortunately the plastic was hard and cheap and broke when I tried to drill it. It was after 9 and I gave up.
The rest of the evening was surfing.
