Day 954

We got up a little after 8, did the pet stuff and had breakfast.  After breakfast I filled the water tank.  I also worked for awhile disassembling 20 ga.  At 11 we left to have lunch with Gerry. 

We had a good lunch and talk.  We also went over all of the finances.  Of course we made a lot of money last year.  The issues are reducing our Intel holdings while minimizing taxes.  We also have to address minimum distributions.  I also wanted to get the money back from the Athena thing.  It made sense to have 10 years ago, but doesn't any more.  What we decided to do was move the money to an investment account.  I plan on blowing the whole amount on travel once Lucy isn't around.

On the subject of Lucy, we're a little worried.  She's been acting a little under the weather.  She didn't want to do retrieves yesterday even though it was cool.  We're taking her to the vet on Sat.

After lunch we went home because Ellen's asshole was giving her problems.  She went into the trailer commune with the toilet.  I went to the club to empty the garbage and check in with Dave.  There was a second sewer hose container there from Amazon.  I don't know why they sent us two, I only ordered (and paid) for one.  When I got back I finished the rest of the 20 ga and cleaned up the mess that the process had made.

By then Ellen's asshole had subsided.  So we went to the factory stores.  Both of us needed new shoes.  We bought Merrel's.  We looked at all of the stores, but the only other thing we bought was a baking pan.

We got home in time for Ellen to drive back to Woodburn for the board meeting.  I had dinner (a sandwich and cereal) and surfed.

When Ellen got home we watched TV for the rest of the evening.
