Day 1525

We got up at 7, did the pet stuff, and left for the body shop.  We drove both vehicles.  Traffic wasn't bad, but we hit every light red.

We dropped the truck up.  They didn't seem interested in doing the CTS2 mount.  After that we stopped at Jim's for breakfast.  We wanted to go to Petco across the street, but they didn't open for half an hour.  So we killed that time in HEB.

After that we went back to the post office and got the mail.  I had to wait in line for the package even though it was still early.  I decided to pick up a new faucet for the trailer bathroom.  We stopped at both Home Depot and Lowe's to look at options.  We bought one at Home Depot.  We also got a towel warmer for the apartment.

We got home a little before noon.  I dropped off the mail and towel warmer at the apartment.  Melissa said they were going to take Reggie for a bath.

I did a little surfing before and after lunch.  Then I decided to install the new faucet in the trailer bathroom.  The old one came out easily.  I thought I was home free.  That's when I discovered that the holes in the cabinet top were in the wrong position for the new faucet.  I had to make a template of the bottom of the new faucet.  Then I used it to mark where I had to cut the cabinet top.  Then I used a jigsaw to cut the holes.  When I was done it all fit perfectly.

I wanted to replace the drain pipe, too.  I took the old one apart.  Of course the p-trap had water in it.  That lead to some mopping up and cleaning.  Then I discovered that the new drain pipe was for a ceramic bowl and wouldn't fit.  So I put the old one back in.

Cleanup took some time.  I had to put everything back under the sink.  Then I vacuumed up all of the sawdust from enlarging in hole.  Finally I took all of the garbage to the can.

I went back into the house and ordered the correct type of drain pipe from Amazon.  Then I surfed until dinner.

After dinner John and I watched car shows.
