Day 1462

We woke up about 8 and surfed for awhile.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  After breakfast I went out to remove the broken pulley from the lawnmower.  The Kroil didn't seem to have done much.  I still couldn't budge it.  It did allow me to remove enough rust to confirm that it wasn't a reverse thread.

I switched to socket wrench so I could use a pipe as a breaker bar.  The pipe was 5 feet long.  I had to grab the end of it and use a lot of force to finally break the nut loose.  When I got the nut off I found that part of the pulley had broken off.

We got in the car and went to the mower repair place.  They didn't have the part, but said they would have it by 4:30.  We stopped by ACE because we had a coupon.  We bought a broom and some cleaning supplies.

The next stop was the post office.  It was a good move.  The box was crammed full and there were two packages also.  The next stop was the Cajun pace for lunch.  It was just as good as I expected it would be.  Then it was HEB for milk.  The last stop was Tomlinson's for dog food.  Unfortunately they were out of what we wanted.  Lucy got a cookie though.

When we got home I went back out to the garage.  I took the mower blade and sharpened it.  One of the packages contained a power cord adapter for the trailer.  I installed it which removed the daisy chain I'd been using.  It also let me put the expensive 50 amp cord back in the trailer.

The last trailer task Is to remove the extra clothes in the trailer.  I went through the t-shirts, pants, and heavy shirts.  I piled everything I didn't need on the bed.  There was almost as much on the bed as I left in the trailer.  I left it on the bed because it was 90 in the trailer and I was hot and tired.

The mower place never called, so I'm not sure they really had the part.

I watched a movie until a late dinner - Caesar salad.  After dinner was football and reading.  I have a whole stack of magazines to get through.
