Day 1565

I woke up about 8 and played games for an hour.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  Ellen and I went out to the garage and set up for painting.  Then I left Ellen to the work.

While Ellen was painting the trailer place called.  The hitch had been delivered.  So when she was finished painting we left for Buda.

Of course we stopped at Cabelas.  I was going to buy some stuff from their latest sales catalog but I couldn't find any of the items.  Then I took a look at the brochure and saw that the sale didn't start until tomorrow.  It wasn't a total loss though.  I had a coupon for a free hamburger at their restaurant.  I had an Elk burger and Ellen had a Bison burger.  They were both really good.  We also got a low hammock bed for Lucy.  She's having more and more trouble getting up on the couch.

After lunch we went to the trailer place across the street and picked up the hitch.  It took two big guys to lift it into the truck.  Then it was time to go home.

When we got home I but Lucy's hammock together.  She seems to like it.  Then I went out to the garage.  My first project was to unpack the hitch.  I took the boxes with the head and the adjustment rails into the garage.  The hitch itself stayed in the truck.  I won't try to move it until I get the piece from Demco.

After that I installed the two antler switch covers we got at the last estate sale.  It took awhile because I had to shim out the switches and 3/8 of an inch to make the covers fit.  I also checked out the rope lights I bought for the gate.  Unfortunately one of the two packages didn't work.  Crap.  By then it was time to take the dog to the mailbox.

When we got back I built a box to hold the cancer plaque I bought for Hooch.  I used part of the box the hammock came in to make it, along with a lot of tape.

Dinner was a TV dinner.  After dinner it was TV.
