We woke up about 8 and got up a little after. The next things were pet stuff and breakfast. After that Ellen noticed that the Living Room TV was tilted on it's mount. We couldn't figure out what had changed by looking behind the TV. I went out to the garage and made a couple of wooden shims. We put them on the mount and they positioned the TV the way it was before.
I called the body shop. They'll fix the bumper next Monday.
The day was warm and sunny. Later it got up to 77. I decided it was a good day to start making the stairs in the trailer into a shoe box. I used the instructions Ellen found on the web. They were helpful, but they weren't complete. I had to reroute some wires that weren't mentioned. I also had to locate and remove screws that weren't mentioned. The worst part was a blind screw. I ended up half ripping it out of the step and then cutting it off with a Dremel.
I finally got the steps removed. I took the second step to the garage and removed the tread. I had to use a chisel to separate it from the frame. Luckily they didn't use a whole lot of glue on it.
By then I'd been working on it of at least 5 hours. It was 3 and I was hot, sweaty and tired. I hadn't had lunch either. I decided to quit. I went inside and surfed. I was too tired to eat.
Ellen left to coach. I surfed for awhile longer and then took a shower. By then it was time to take the dog to the mailbox. When Ellen came home I fixed a turkey sandwich for dinner. John and Melissa are gone, so I'm back to being on my own for meals.
After dinner it was TV and a little surfing. I'm going to mis having John to talk to in the evening.
