Day 1105

We woke up at 8, but stayed in bed for awhile because this is the one day this week that Ellen isn't going to a doctor.  Mowing the lawn was out, because it rained again last night.

When we did get up it was pet stuff and breakfast.  Then I took the weather sensor off the deck roof and cleaned out the rain gauge.  It hasn't been reading correctly at all.  Then I did a little surfing.  Wasting the day wasn't an option, so I decided to identify stuff that we can give to Isaac to sell when he comes by on Sunday.  Ellen and I went through the closet in the spare bedroom and found a lot of stuff to give away.  When cleaning out the closet we ran across a whole lot of old shooting prizes, mostly knives.  We're giving most of them to Isaac.  We also found a whole lot of pins and patches that we put in the "pins and awards" bin where they belong.  This took quite a bit of time.

Then we got sidetracked cleaning up paperwork.  We totally cleaned out a file box with records dating back to 2010.  We almost overheated the shredder.

Then it was time for lunch.  After lunch we attacked the large desk.  We got rid of old papers and miscellaneous stationary type stuff.  We organized the rest so that we could locate things when we wanted them.  Then we went through the old tablets.  Ellen cleaned one for Isaac to sell.  Another is DOA.  We're keeping a couple of others.

Then we took a break until dinner.  I took the dog to the mailbox.  I also took bags of garbage and recycle out to the cans.  Today was garbage day, but there's already significant amounts of stuff in both cans.

Ellen fixed fish burgers for dinner.  After dinner we tackled the small desk.  It wasn't as big a task, but it took some time because were worked slowly.

We finished the desk and called it quits.  The only thing left to go through is the linen closet.

The rest of the evening was reading and football.
