Day 1544

We got up a little before 8, did the pet stuff and had breakfast.  After a little surfing we left for the bank.  We got there at 9:02.  We still had to wait for someone who had gotten there earlier.

We spent almost an hour with the banker.  A person had tried to gain access to the checking account and credit card yesterday.  He had my name, address, SSN, the account number, and the card number.  Fortunately we had locked down everything yesterday.  We removed some online permissions on some of the accounts.  We couldn't get the checking account reactivated because we're in Texas and the account was set up in Oregon.  Apparently it will take about a week to get it all sorted out.  Whoever has the info is dedicated and has access to about everything.

When we were finished we went to Verizon to see if we can block any duplicating of the SIM cards.  It turns out they have a new process to do exactly that.  We activated it.  Then we made a short stop at Lowe's for some hardware.  We stopped at the donut shop on Brodie on the way home.  We got donuts for us and some powder sugar things for John.  Then we went home.

We passed John and Melissa on Madrone Circle.  They were taking the dog for a walk.  Apparently Melissa is feeling better, but not 100% yet. 

When we got home I went to the garage.  I was going to use the hardware I bought to reinforce one of the railroad ties, but I didn't have the right drill bit.  So I decided to measure the height the hitch will be when it's mounted in the truck.  The hitch height will be 51 1/2 inches.  The height of the pin box when the trailer is level is 49 inches.  Assuming the truck will sink down a little when the trailer is hitched things should be pretty good.

John and Melissa came home just as I finished.  John and I stood outside and talked for quite awhile.  Lucy snuck into the apartment and grabbed a rice bone.,  We'd given it to Reggie a few days ago, but he didn't like it.  We were at the bottom of the stairs.  She came out with the bone in her mouth and stood there.  Once she decided we weren't going to object she hurriedly took the bone home.

Ellen fixed chicken for dinner and we took a couple of plates over to them.  After dinner was a little TV and a lot of TV.
