Day 1116

We woke up about 8:15 and got up about 9:15.  After that we left for Dripping Springs to get the trailer license.  I didn't know the day was going to suck.

It turns out that the dumbshits at the inspection place screwed up.  They didn't give me a hard copy of the report, and didn't send it to the state.  So the state wouldn't give us a license.  We had to drive to Fredericksburg to get it straightened out.  They were nice about it though.  It kind of blew the day.  We weren't back home until 2.  We'd taken the truck, so the trip cost at least $30 in fuel.

Oh, and by the way when we were in Fredericksburg the truck stumbled and the "replace fuel filter" message came up.  I went to the Chevy place to get it checked.  They weren't friendly and said "leave it, maybe we'll get to it this evening, or maybe next week".  That made for a worrisome trip back home.  The truck ran fine all of the way though.  I will get it looked at.

We stopped at Belterra on the way home.  We were going to eat at Pieous, but they closed at 2.  The place next door wasn't open on Monday.  So we went home.  Did I mention today sucked?

After lunch I went out and replaced the tarp on the truck shelter.  That at least went well.  Then I went to the garage to continue the silverware drawer effort.  That started out well with the shorter nails working well.  I got about half of the boards attached when I ran into a big problem.  The clamps I have were too big to allow me to position the other boards to be nailed together.  I struggled with one, and then decided to bag it until tomorrow.  It was 4:30 and I was tired of problems.

I took the dog to the mailbox at 5.  I met Lee on the way back and we had a good conversation.  Lucy almost starved waiting for us.

Dinner was leftover meatloaf.  After dinner was football.
