Day 1527

We got up at 5:30, did the pet stuff, and left to take John and Melissa to the airport.  It's the first time I driven at night with my new eyes.  It was great.  I could see.  I've been night blind for years.  It was amazing to be able to see so clearly.  There were no light halos.  I loved it.

We got John and Melissa to the airport in about half an hour.  On the way back we stopped for gas.  Ellen had let the car run down to a quarter tank.  We stopped a funkadelic for breakfast.  We had to wait about 10 minutes in the parking lot for them to open.

After that we went to Lowe's.  I got some drill bits, some hardware for the trailer screen door, and some wood for the bathroom cabinet.  We stopped at HEB for bread on the way home.

I surfed for awhile when we got home because it was cold (38 degrees when we got up).  About 10:30 it got up to 60, so I went out to work in the trailer.  I installed the new drain pipe.  It took awhile because I had to use the Dremel to make the hole in the sink bigger.  The result looks great.  I also worked out how to latch the screen door.  I have to get some knobs though, so I went back into the house and ordered some.

I measured and cut the wood for the cabinet.  I had to use the Dremel again to shave off the corners of the box that Ellen uses on her shelf.  That way the wood would fit.  I also set up the wood for painting and Ellen put on the first coat.

While I was doing that the body shop called.  The parts that were supposed to be in Monday still haven't arrived.  So they told me to pick up the truck and they'd call when the parts came in.  We stopped at Goodwill on the way over and dropped off some old pans.  Ellen got replacements for Christmas.  After picking up the truck we stopped at Jack Allen's on the way back for a late lunch.  I'm happy because I think they will install the CTS2 for me.

The rest of the afternoon was surfing.  I took the dog to the mailbox.  She did well again today.  While walking I noticed that the sight in my right eye has improved noticeably.  I think I'll try shooting tomorrow if the weather is good.

After that it was a combination of surfing, reading, and TV for the rest of the night.  Dinner was just a sandwich, since lunch was so late.
