Day 1575

Today was pretty good except for gaming.  I spent from 8 to 10 in bed competing with another player.  I lost.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  After that I spent some tim looking up exhaust places.  I found one that looked promising on Manchaca.

A squirrel showed up at the bird feeders.  Squirrels have been decimating the feeders.  Ellen has to fill them every day.  I killed two yesterday and got this one today.  Hopefully that will reduce the depredation.

We left for the exhaust place.  The guys there were nice and seemed capable.  They said they wouldn't do the work until they confirmed that it wouldn't void my warranty.  I left my name and they'll call back.

On the way back we stopped at Randall's.  It was a little after noon and the checkout lines stretched to the back of the store.  I said bag it.  Many of the other stores had coronavirus signs.

We went on to Costco.  Ellen was feeling bitchy and stayed in the truck.  They weren't letting anyone into the store.  I had to wait 20 minutes to get in.  There weren't many people inside.  I got water, hamburger, and mango strips.  They didn't have any paper products, not even napkins.  It didn't take any time to check out.

The last stop was the post office.  Traffic at the Y was really light.  When we got home I decided to hook up the trailer to see how things went.

I was really happy with the result.  When hooked up the front of the trailer is at most 1.25 inches higher than level.  It may be a little less.  It took some time to hook up because I'm not practiced on figuring out how high the pin should be.  The lights work perfectly.

We had leftovers for a late lunch.  I had a rum and coke in honor of St. Patrick's day.  After that it was a little surfing and maybe a slight nap.  I took the dog to the mailbox.  I could hear thunder as I left and it started to rain some while I was walking out and back.  I got back just in time.  The skies opened up and we got half an inch of rain in about 5 minutes.

Ellen fixed BLT's for dinner.  I think it will be awhile before we eat out again.  After dinner was TV and a complete failure at playing games.
