Day 1681

We got u at 7:30 again.  Then it was pet stuff.  I went to the storage unit to check the battery.  It was toast.  So I removed it and put it in the back of the truck. 

When I was done with that I went back to the trailer and found a place in Baker that had a new battery ($199).  Then we went to Dan and Patsy's.  I put the battery in the car she was taking to Baker City.  Then we went to the Shorthorn for breakfast.When we got done we talked with Dan for about an hour.  Then he left to run the dog and Patsy left for Baker. 

We went to the hardware store to buy stuff to clean the battery cables.  We also stopped at Thorney's for sausage.  Then we went home and I cleaned the cables.  I also spent some time looking through some of the boxes that are in the unit.  I found a couple of more things that I want to take to Texas.

I did some surfing and we had lunch in the trailer.  Eventually we went back to Dan and Patsy's.  We talked with Dan for quite awhile.  I might have napped.  We went and got fishing licenses when Dan left to run the dog.  Lucy is really tired today.  She can barely get up.  So she wasn't going.

We were supposed to go to John's place to eat with them and Dan and Patsy at 5.  Patsy showed up at 4:30.  I took the battery and the dog back to the park.  I put the battery in the Bronco.  It took awhile because the new battery is bigger and the battery holder wouldn't fit.  I had to unbolt some stuff to make it fit.  Then I fed the animals.

I drove the Bronco to John's.  It started right up and ran as well as it ever did.  We had a nice dinner.  After dinner John, Patsy, Dan, Ellen, and John's wife played pool while I surfed.  They played until 10.  Then we all went home.

When we got home I gave the pets their snacks, took a shower, and went to bed.
