We got up at 8 today, did the pet stuff and had breakfast. Then we left to go to the GMC dealer. We ended up buying a truck that will be here in a week. It's everything we wanted except that it has a sliding roof and a center console lock. That cost about $800. I'm a little mad at myself for letting then give me so little for the trade-in, but that's on me. We can afford it, so I'm not worrying.
We stopped at the post office on the way home. The gem holders were here - I've been waiting for them. We made a short stop at CVS and then went home.
The weather was actually nice today, low 70's. I backed the truck into the garage and removed the hitch. It's the first time I've used the chain hoist and it worked pretty well. After that I started cleaning out the truck. It took hours and I found stuff I didn't even know was in the truck. Ellen was pulling weeds while I worked. She got tired of that and came over to help unload the truck. It helped.
Eventually we got it done. I moved the truck over in front of the trailer. The next time I drive it will probably be the last. I sure hope the new truck is as reliable and trouble free as it was. I'm going to kind of miss the old truck.
I went out to the gate and cleaned the driveway entrance before I went in. It was covered with gravel that had washed off the pavement. It just looked bad and it has been bugging me for a long time.
We fed the pets and then went to dinner. I wanted to go to Pieous. It was a little after 5, but there was a line of about 20 people. We looked at the menu and didn't see anything that we wanted to wait that long for. So we went to the place next to ACE. It was great. They had Guinness on tap and I had two - only $5 apiece.
When we got home Ellen watched TV. I hit the web to look at things for the truck.
