Day 1560

We got up at 5:45.  After pet stuff we left for the GMC dealer.  I was surprised to find that the south end of loop 1 was slow at 6:20 in the morning.  It didn't delay us much though.  The rest of the trip was fine.  Traffic was heavy, but they were all pros.  For the most part we were going near 70 most of the time.

We got to the dealership about 6:50.  We stood around for awhile and then turned the truck over to them.  They did the oil change and fixed two recalls.  They also showed us that some of the problems we've had with customizing the truck was that we hadn't logged into it.  ???

They were done with the truck about 9.  We got back on the freeway and went a few miles to a place that sold Pilla shooting glasses.  We didn't even go in.  They're just and office.  Apparantly it's a "we'll order it for you" kind of place.

We were hungry, so Ellen found us a breakfast place.  It was really yuppie and a little expensive, but it was good.  While we were leaving an old lady in some sort of patriotic costume walked through the parking lot with a big Trump 2020 flag.

There was a Wally World a few doors down, so we went there looking for a light timer.  They didn't have one.

We got back in the truck and drove to Costco.  I wanted to get batteries and a part for my hearing aids.  The place was packed.  We went to the back for some water and it was sold out.  Apparently the idiots have panicked concerning the virus.  Morons.

We also stopped at Lowes for the timer.  I also got a piece of pine to use in the trailer if the oak doesn't work out.  The last stop was the post office - no mail.

When we got home Ellen got on the web and the user manual and figured out how to log into the truck.  She figured it out.  It won't do exactly what we want, but it's closer.  I went out and installed the timer along with the new light rope I got at an estate sale.  I through all of the old stuff away.  I also cut the pine so Ellen could paint it.

While she was painting I ordered an electronic lock for the trailer baggage compartment.  I also made an appointment for Wednesday to get the EGT probe installed in the truck.  The last part of the hitch is supposed to be delivered tomorrow.

I was surfing when Ellen said the radio I ordered for the apartment had been delivered.  When I got out there the dishes were there, too.  They were in two very heavy boxes.  I had to get the hand truck out of the back storage to get them to the house.  Then we spent the next half hour unpacking them.  I took all of the cardboard to the recycle bin.  I'm not sure there's enough room left to put in the bottles.

I took the dog to the mailbox. There was a past due bill from some medical place.  Apparently they don't have the right insurance info.  I'll call them tomorrow.

Dinner was frozen food.  It was good though.  The dishwasher went into it's "I don't want to work" mode again.  It took awhile, but I managed to get it to work again.  I smell a new one coming.

The rest of the evening was TV.  I went out and checked the new lights.  They look pretty good.  All in all it was a long and fairly busy day.
