Day 1628

I woke up about 8 and played games until after 9.  Then it was pet stuff and breakfast.  After breakfast I did a little surfing.  Then I went to the trailer.

I sanded down the wood putty that Ellen put down yesterday.  The result looks good.  It was cold enough (60's) to make the vinyl stiff and it didn't lay flat.  Instead I decided to work on the other pressing item.  The power supply hanging down from the picture frame was causing the trim to be torn off on the slideout.

I got some zip ties and tied the power supply behind a curtain where it won't bind with the slideout.  Then I got out the compressor and air nailer.  I used the nailer to reattach the trim.  Three brads in less than a minute and it was done.  Because the trim was 2 inches from the chair arm it would have been really difficult and time consuming to try to use a hammer and nails.  It wouldn't have looked as good, either.

Ellen came out.  I left putting down the part of the floor we didn't remove to her and went back to the house to surf.  I'm getting good at finding non-Chinese things to read.  When she came back I went on a 3 mile walk.

After lunch Ellen went back outside.  She didn't say why.  I took a shower.  When I got out I went looking for her.  She had gone to the trailer and glued down the patch.  It looks pretty good.  We need to let that dry and put down the seam sealer tomorrow.  That will finish the job.

I spent the rest of the afternoon surfing and watching TV. Ellen made meatloaf and baked potatoes for dinner.  It was really good.  As good or better than anything we've had a restaurants. 

After dinner was more TV.  I watched a movie.  I'd seen it before, but like most movies I didn't remember it.
