Day 778

We got up at 8:30, did the pet stuff, and had breakfast.  After breakfast I went out and cleaned up the rest of the insulation from the old archery target.  I thought I'd need to save part of it for next week's garbage, but it all fit in the can this week.

After that it was time to put up the Christmas tree.  I brought in all of the stuff from the apartment.  I put together the tree and then got out the light string for the Star Trek ornaments.  It's one of those "one goes out they all go out" lights.  It didn't work.  There were 50 bulbs and I started pulling them out and replaceing them one by one.  I had to do 39 lights before I found the one that was bad.

Elen decorated the rest of the tree herself.  I figured she'd like doing it, and she did.  It looks really good.  When she was finished I took the boxes back out to the apartment.

All of that took until lunch.  After lunch Ellen's asshole was acting up.  So I surfed while she spent a lot of time on the pot.  She was done about 2, so we left to get the mail.  I also wanted to get cement blocks for the target stand and a shelf to put in the apartment closet.

We did all of that and were home before 4.  I unloaded the blocks and hauled them over to the backstop. They were exactly what's necessary to raise the target stand.

Then I went to the apartment to install the closet shelf.  That took a little more effort than I thought it would.  I didn't finish it until 5:30.  Then I did my exercises and went to get the mail.

Ellen fixed turkey alfredo for diner.  It was good.

After dinner it was reading and TV.
