Day 1687

We got up at 7:30, did the pet stuff and breakfast.  Then it was out to do more weeding.

We spent a little over an hour weeding.  We got a lot done.  This was because the weeds were less thick and were growing in the main gravel pad.  That made them much easier to pull.  I think we'll be done in one more session.  It's really nice to stand by the shed and look towards the trailer.  It's quite a transformation from when we got here last Friday.

I was really tired after that so I went back to the trailer and surfed for a little while.  Then Ellen had to leave to meet Bob to work on taxes.  I had to stay at the trailer because the sewer guys are supposed to come "some time".  They are charging us $85.  If we have to do this each week it's going to run into lots of money.  Fuck the club for removing the sewer tank.

One of the screen door latches still had a little problem.  I decided to fix it once an for all.  I took it all apart and partially redesigned it.  I took a while because I had to search for applicable parts.  At least having a full set of tools made things easier.  I'm hoping that this is the end of working on the latches.

I took the charger off the Polaris and started it up.  It started immediately (yeah).  I let it warm up while I raked the leaves out of the car port.  The only rake I had was the dog shit rake.  It worked fine.  I took the garbage that we'd piled in the back of the Polaris to the dumpster.  That's all the driving I want to do until I get some more gas.  Then I gave it a bath.  It was too filthy to even sit in.  Based on the number of cobwebs I think an army of spiders decided to live there.

I was done with everything by 12:30.  You can get a lot done when you wake up in the morning.  I still have to work out why the battery keeps dying.  That's for another day though.

I didn't have anything else to do except wait for the sewer guy.  So I surfed.  Ellen came home and brought me a new job.  The replacement light for over the recliners came in.  I removed the old one and wired in the new one.  It's definitely an improvement.

After that it was more waiting.  I might have taken a nap.  The sewer guy showed up about three.  I managed to get the tank completely clean.  The guy was perfectly happy to let me take my time flushing it.

Cooper got out while the pumping was being done.  Luckily we found him pretty quickly.

With the pumping done we went into Woodburn.  I bought 4 gallons of premium for the Ranger.  We also got some lunch meat at Safeway.  The stuff we had was old.

When we got home it was time for dinner.  Ellen fixed tacos.  After dinner we took the Polaris for a drive around the course.  I wanted to mix the new gas with the old.  The Polaris ran really well.  I think it likes premium.

After dinner we watched a couple of old western movies.
