We woe up at 8, but didn't get out of bed until 9. After pet stuff and breakfast I went out to try to drill the hole again. I read of a technique on the net that I wanted to try. It didn't work. Oh well, time to order other bits.
I really wanted to accomplish something today, so I decided to move rock. I spread out all of the remaining rock that I had. Some of it went to cover almost bare spots in the existing covered areas. 4 loads went to cover new areas by the trailer. That's when I ran out of rock.
I went inside and called the rock company to order more rock. They called back about 5 minutes later saying they'd deliver it immediately. So I went outside, opened the gate, and waited for them. After they delivered it I went inside to eat lunch. After lunch I did a little surfing, but all that new gravel ate at me. So a little after 1 I went out and moved some of the new stuff. In a little less than two hours I moved another 11 loads of rock. I also raked all of the garage ramp. That involved two loads of waste rock that I put by the apartment sewer tank.
I finished about 3, covered with sweat. It was 77 degrees. I really wanted to go to the post office, so we got in the car and went. There were three packages waiting for us. One was the 4K version of Blade Runner Ellen ordered. The other two were Christmas presents. After that we came right back home.
One of the letters we got was from the DMV. Apparently the guy who did the trailer safety inspection didn't put it in the computer system, so they rejected our license renewal. We searched for the paper until I found it in the trailer. Then we made a copy and put it back.
After that I took a shower and then took the dog to the mailbox. Ellen fixed another dinner in the box for dinner. It was great, especially since she added extra rice.
The evening was reading and football. The cheating New England Patriots lost. It was great.
