We woke up about 6 today. For some reason both of us woke up really early. We surfed and dozed for quite awhile. We finally got up a little before 10. Then we got up, did pet stuff, had breakfast, and started the wash.
I called a tonneau dealer and ordered a cover for the truck. It costs $1,600 when the list price is $1,900. I had to call because no one advertises a lower price. There's no tax or shipping, so the final savings over buying one locally is almost $500.
Then we went outside to load up the truck. There was an amazing amount of stuff. We filled up the glove compartment, the console, some of the under seat storage, and some of the door storage. We put away all of the stuff we needed and still had room for more.
When we finished I called the carport guy. He was available, so I told him we'd be right over. Then there were a couple of delays. There was a squirrel in the back yard. I got him. Then when I opened the front door there was a (poisonous) coral snake on the walkway. I had Ellen come out and watch him while I went and got a shovel. I cut it's head off and put it in the garbage can.
We finally got to the carport guy and order the carport. Apparently it won't take long to get it. Then we went to HEB for some bananas and the pizza place next door for lunch. It was 82 degrees with a pleasant wind, so Lucy could eat outside with us. I have to lift her in AND OUT of the new truck. It's not easy.
When we got home I did a little surfing and then took the dog to the mailbox. After dinner I spent a lot of time reading the truck user manual. It's a long read. I got about a third of the way done before I couldn't stand it any more.
